# Google ships 3 new Gemini models. Just not the one everyone’s waiting for.

**[The New Stack](https://daily.dev/sources/newstack)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Google released three new Gemini models: Gemini 3.6 Flash (a meaningful upgrade with lower output token pricing at $7.50/M and improved coding benchmarks), 3.5 Flash-Lite (a cheaper, faster model for high-throughput tasks like document processing), and 3.5 Flash Cyber (a cybersecurity-focused model available only to governments and trusted partners via limited pilot). Notably absent is Gemini 3.5 Pro, which was promised for June and remains delayed. Benchmark comparisons show 3.6 Flash trailing Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Terra on most knowledge and coding tasks, though it competes on price. Google also confirmed it has begun pre-training for Gemini 4.
