Gemini 3.6 Flash

Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google DeepMind's successor to 3.5 Flash in the cost-efficient Flash tier. It uses roughly 17 percent fewer output tokens while scoring higher on coding, long-context, and computer-use benchmarks. The knowledge cutoff moves forward to March 2026 and it keeps the 1M-token context window. Pricing drops slightly on the output side ($7.50 vs $9.00 per MTok) while input stays at $1.50. Available day-one in AI Studio, the Gemini API, and the Gemini consumer app.
