GoKawiilGoogle released three new AI models on Tuesday, all built on Gemini 3.5 Flash. The new models are more token-efficient, faster and more reliable across the board. The tech giant also provided an update on the much-anticipated Gemini 3.5 Pro and what’s to come after.
A new AI model from the likes of Google, Anthropic or OpenAI is released seemingly every week, with the latest, ChatGPT-5.6, released earlier this month. Google’s latest releases aren’t flagship models compared to what’s on the horizon, but each has its place, including a new model solely focused on cybersecurity.
Here’s what’s new in the latest Gemini models from today’s announcement.
Gemini 3.6 Flash
Google called 3.6 Flash its “workhorse” model that’s now better at coding, knowledge work and multimodal performance. It also promises reduced token usage by up to 17%, and at a lower cost per token versus its predecessor, 3.5.
Google says it built the model based on both developer and customer feedback. A series of benchmarks shows 3.6 Flash’s gains in performance and average tokens per task compared to its predecessor.
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite
Google’s fastest and most cost-effective model can deliver 350 output tokens per second and “significantly” outperforms previous generations when it comes to agentic workflows, according to the blog post.
Like 3.6 Flash, this model now supports computer use as a built-in tool to take on more agentic tasks.
