What is Gemini 3.6 Flash Family?

The Gemini 3.6 Flash Family is a new lineup of AI models from Google, including Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber. These models are designed to deliver the efficiency, latency, and reliability needed to build AI agents at scale. Building on the success of Gemini 3.5 Flash, the family focuses on higher token efficiency, lower latency, and more reliable performance for production-grade agentic workflows.

Who it's for

• Developers building production AI agents who need better coding, knowledge work, and multimodal performance with lower costs.
• Enterprise customers running agentic workflows at scale who require faster output speeds and improved token efficiency.
• Cybersecurity teams looking for specialized, highly efficient models paired with agent infrastructure for code security tasks.

Key features

Gemini 3.6 Flash: Workhorse model with improved efficiency

Gemini 3.6 Flash delivers better coding, knowledge work, and multimodal performance while reducing output token usage by 17% compared to 3.5 Flash. It achieves this with fewer reasoning steps and tool calls, making multi-step workflows more cost-effective at $1.50/1M input tokens and $7.50/1M output tokens.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite: Fastest and most cost-effective

This model delivers 350 output tokens per second according to the Artificial Analysis Index, making it the fastest 3.5-class model. It significantly outperforms prior Flash-Lite generations in agentic workflows while maintaining low costs.

Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber in CodeMender

A specialized cyber-focused model paired with the CodeMender code security agent, designed for successful cybersecurity applications that require careful orchestration of a model alongside agent infrastructure. It delivers competitive performance at the frontier of code security.
