Google DeepMind introduced three new Gemini models: 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber. Gemini 3.6 Flash is positioned as the workhorse model, offering better coding, knowledge work, and multimodal performance with 17% lower output token usage and a lower price than 3.5 Flash. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is the fastest and most cost-effective model in the 3.5 series, running at 350 output tokens per second and outperforming prior Flash-Lite generations on agentic benchmarks. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is a specialized model fine-tuned for finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and it will be available exclusively to governments and trusted partners through the CodeMender agent in a limited pilot program. The article notes that Gemini 3.5 Pro is being tested with partners, while the team has started pre-training for Gemini 4. Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite are available immediately through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Android Studio, and other enterprise and consumer surfaces.
