Gemini 3.5 Flash

gemini-3.5-flash

Gemini 3.5 Flash is Google's high-efficiency multimodal model, delivering near-Pro level performance in coding and reasoning at Flash-tier speed and cost. It supports text, image, video, audio, and PDF inputs, making it well suited for diverse multimodal workflows. Optimized for coding proficiency and parallel agentic execution, the model defaults to medium thinking effort for faster, cost-efficient responses while supporting configurable thinking levels (minimal, low, medium, high) for fine-grained cost–performance control.
