Original: Google Expands Gemini With 3.6 Flash, Flash-Lite and Gemini Robotics 2
Short summary
Google released Gemini 3.6 Flash (GA at $1.50/M input, $7.50/M output tokens, ~17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash), Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite (350 output tokens/sec for high-volume agent workflows), and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber (limited pilot for government vulnerability work). Gemini Robotics 2 extends the family into embodied, cross-robot control. The practical takeaway is matching model to workflow economics rather than picking one best model.
- •Gemini 3.6 Flash is GA with pricing at $1.50/M input and $7.50/M output tokens, ~17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash
- •Flash-Lite targets high-speed agentic workflows at 350 output tokens/sec; Flash Cyber is a limited pilot for government cybersecurity
- •Gemini Robotics 2 extends the family to embodied, cross-robot control systems
