Gemini 3.6 Flash improves on 3.5 Flash with 17% fewer output tokens, better coding and multimodal performance, and lower pricing at $1.50/1M input and $7.50/1M output tokens. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is the fastest model in the series at 350 tokens/second, priced at $0.30/1M input and $2.50/1M output, designed for high-throughput agentic tasks. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is a security-specialized model paired with the CodeMender agent for finding and fixing code vulnerabilities, available exclusively to governments and trusted partners in a limited pilot. Both 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite are available today via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Gemini Enterprise. Google also confirmed Gemini 3.5 Pro is in partner testing and Gemini 4 pre-training has begun. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is the pricing for Gemini 3.6 Flash and how does it compare to 3.5 Flash? Gemini 3.6 Flash costs $1.50 per 1M input tokens and $7.50 per 1M output tokens, which is lower than 3.5 Flash while also cutting output token usage by 17% according to the Artificial Analysis Index, reducing the overall cost per agentic task. It also improves coding, knowledge work, and computer-use benchmarks like OSWorld-Verified and DeepSWE compared to 3.5 Flash. _Developers weighing Gemini model upgrades can track pricing and benchmark changes like these on daily.dev._ ### How fast is Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite compared to other Gemini Flash models? Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite runs at 350 output tokens per second, the fastest in the 3.5 series, priced at $0.3 per 1M input tokens and $2.5 per 1M output tokens. It outperforms 3 Flash on benchmarks like SWE-Bench Pro (54.2% vs 49.6%) and OSWorld-Verified (74.0% vs 65.1%), making it a faster and cheaper alternative for high-throughput agentic workloads. _Teams choosing between Gemini Flash tiers for high-volume workloads can compare specs like these on daily.dev._ ### What is Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber and who can access it? Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is a specialized model built on Gemini 3.5 Flash and fine-tuned for finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities at lower cost than larger models. It operates within Google's CodeMender agent, using multiple Flash Cyber agents together, and reaches competitive performance on the CyberGym benchmark. Due to dual-use risk, it will be available only to governments and trusted partners through a limited-access pilot. _Security teams tracking AI-assisted vulnerability tools can follow developments like CodeMender on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite: Built for intelligence at scale](https://daily.dev/posts/gemini-3-1-flash-lite-built-for-intelligence-at-scale-oz1mpgrn8) · DeepMind · 1 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#google](https://daily.dev/tags/google), [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#google-gemini](https://daily.dev/tags/google-gemini) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-gemini-3-6-flash-3-5-flash-lite-and-3-5-flash-cyber-axoqjo8sv) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Introducing Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-gemini-3-6-flash-3-5-flash-lite-and-3-5-flash-cyber-axoqjo8sv","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-gemini-3-6-flash-3-5-flash-lite-and-3-5-flash-cyber-axoqjo8sv"},"datePublished":"2026-07-21T15:35:24.062Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:33:08.517Z","description":"Google is releasing three new Gemini Flash-series models optimized for agentic workflows.
