Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite

Overview

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite launched July 21, 2026 alongside Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, positioned as the high-throughput, low-latency tier of the Gemini 3 family for agentic search and data-intensive tasks. It generates up to 350 output tokens per second, the fastest in the 3.5 series, and outperforms Gemini 3 Flash on some benchmarks (SWE-Bench Pro: 54.2% vs. 49.6%). It remains Google's cheapest current-generation model, priced at $0.30/M input and $2.50/M output tokens, and as of September 2026 has not been superseded by a later Flash-Lite release.
