Gemini 3.6 Flash
Gemini 3.6 Flash remains a supported GA efficiency-first model, while Gemini 3.8 Flash is the newer workhorse for harder coding, multimodal analysis, knowledge work, and multi-step agent workflows.
🚀Function Overview
Gemini 3.6 Flash improves coding, multimodal, and agentic performance over Gemini 3.5 Flash while lowering standard output-token pricing and reducing token use in Google-reported evaluations.
Key Features
- Official GA Gemini API model ID gemini-3.6-flash
- 1-million-token context window and 64K maximum output
- Text, image, audio, and video input with text output
- Medium default thinking level with configurable thinking effort
- Built-in tools including Computer Use
- Standard Gemini API pricing of $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens
- March 2026 knowledge cutoff in the official model card
- Recommended migration target for Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3 Flash Preview, and Gemini 3.1 Pro
Use Cases
- •Multi-step coding and repository agents
- •Document, chart, image, audio, and video analysis
- •Knowledge-work automation and report generation
- •Computer-use agents on supported Gemini surfaces
- •Production migration from earlier Gemini Flash models
