Gemini 3.6 Flash
Google · Released Jul 2026
Recommended
Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's new default Flash-tier workhorse — it's both better and cheaper than 3.5 Flash, scoring higher on every benchmark while cutting the output price from $9.00 to $7.50 per million tokens. The 17% token-efficiency gain means lower per-task cost even before the price cut, and built-in Computer Use via the API makes it a credible agentic coding option. For Google-ecosystem developers, this is the clear upgrade — there is no reason to stay on 3.5 Flash.
