Model Card
Gemini 3.5 Flash is Google DeepMind's frontier-speed model that combines Flash-tier latency and cost with near-Pro-level reasoning, announced at Google I/O 2026. It processes output 4x faster than comparable frontier models while outperforming Gemini 3.1 Pro on coding and agentic benchmarks — 76.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, 83.6% on MCP Atlas, and 84.2% on CharXiv Reasoning.
It's purpose-built for agentic workflows: orchestrating multi-step tool use, long-context document analysis, and iterative code generation. With a 1M token context window and full multimodal input support (text, image, audio, video, PDF), it handles complex real-world tasks at scale. At $1.50 per million input tokens and $9.00 per million output tokens, it's the best choice for developers who need frontier intelligence without frontier latency or cost.

Gemini 3.7 Flash
Gemini 3.7 Flash is Google's workhorse Flash-tier model, released August 13, 2026, three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash. It's built for coding and agentic workflows, targeting software engineering, web development, and knowledge-dense domains like finance and law. Google reports gains over Gemini 3.6 Flash on several benchmarks. DeepSWE v1.1 rose from 49.0% to 65.3%, FrontierCode 1.1 from 34.4% to 43.6%, and AutomationBench from 17.0% to 30.4%. On FrontierCode 1.1 it scores above Claude Sonnet 5 (42.7%) and GPT-5.6 Terra (41.3%), though GPT-5.6 Terra edges it out on Terminal-bench 2.1 (87.4% vs 85.8%). It accepts text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window and 64K token output limit. It supports function calling, search as a tool, and computer use, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. It's priced at roughly half of Gemini 3.6 Flash's rate, fitting teams running coding agents or high-volume document processing.
ChatGemini 3.5 Flash-Lite
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is Google's fastest and most cost-efficient model in the Gemini 3.5 series, built for high-throughput, low-latency workloads. It scores 54% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 72.2% on GDM-MRCR v2, up from 31% and 60.1% for Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. It also outperforms the larger Gemini 3 Flash on SWE-Bench Pro (54.2% vs. 49.6%) and OSWorld-Verified (74.0% vs. 65.1%), while generating output at roughly 350 tokens per second. It supports text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window, configurable thinking levels, and function calling, including computer use as a built-in tool. It's suited for agentic search, document processing, and other high-volume tasks where throughput and cost matter more than maximum reasoning depth.
ChatGemini 3.6 Flash
Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's workhorse Flash-tier model, released as the successor to Gemini 3.5 Flash. It's built for running AI agents in production, with improvements in coding precision, computer use, and multimodal understanding. In Google's own benchmarks, it scores 83.0% on OSWorld-Verified (up from 78.4% for 3.5 Flash), 49% on DeepSWE (up from 37%), 63.9% on MLE-Bench (up from 49.7%), and 58.7% on SWE-Bench Pro. It also produces 17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash on comparable tasks. It accepts text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window, supports function calling and a built-in computer-use tool, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. At $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens, it's well under 3.5 Flash's $1.50 and $9.00 rates.
