Gemini 3.6 Flash
Strong value for high-volume usage.
Overview
The newest entry in Google's Flash lineup, Gemini 3.6 Flash pairs a one-million-token context window with an aggressive launch price ($0.75/$3.75 per million tokens through 2026, doubling afterward) aimed at heavy multimodal workloads and agentic pipelines. No technical report or benchmark figures have been published yet, so its real-world performance is hard to verify independently. It's a closed, proprietary model hosted by Google with no on-premise option, meaning European teams handling sensitive data will need to check which Google Cloud regions actually apply.
