Google Releases Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber: A Cheaper, More Token-Efficient Flash Tier Built for Agentic Workloads

Google launched three new Gemini Flash models aimed at faster, cheaper, more token-efficient agent workflows.

Gemini 3.6 Flash is now the main Flash model, with stronger benchmarks and lower output pricing than 3.5 Flash.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite targets high-throughput, low-latency use cases with cheaper pricing and configurable thinking levels.

Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is tuned for vulnerability detection and patching, and is already powering Google’s CodeMender agent.
