Google releases three new Gemini models — but no 3.5 Pro
Google released Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Flash Cyber, but the continued absence of Gemini 3.5 Pro raises fresh questions about its AI strategy.
AI Summary
On Tuesday, Google DeepMind launched three new Gemini models: Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash‑Lite, and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber. Gemini 3.6 Flash is positioned as the “workhorse model,” offering better coding, knowledge work, and multimodal performance while cutting token usage by up to 17 %, making it cheaper than the previous 3.5 Flash. Gemini 3.5 Flash‑Lite is the most cost‑effective option in the lineup. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is a specialized model fine‑tuned to detect and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities; it will be available only to governments and trusted partners under a limited‑access pilot program.
