Learn about Gemini 3.5 Flash's capabilities, features, and how it can help you achieve better results.
High-Efficiency Agentic Performance
Gemini 3.5 Flash is a multimodal model designed for speed and complex reasoning. It supports a 1-million-token context window, enabling users to process massive data sets including hour-long videos and entire code repositories in a single prompt. The architecture is optimized for sub-second latency, targeting developers building interactive AI agents and automated workflows.
Native Multimodality and Reasoning
This model introduces a Thinking mode for advanced chain-of-thought logic. It natively processes text, images, audio, video, and PDFs, which removes the need for separate preprocessing pipelines. Benchmarks indicate that it outperforms the previous Gemini 3.1 Pro in coding and tool-use tasks while maintaining the efficiency of the Flash tier.
Production-Ready Scaling
At a cost of $1.50 per million input tokens, it provides a cost-effective path for high-volume applications. It is specifically tuned for function calling and terminal-based tasks, achieving high scores on agentic benchmarks like SWE-bench and Terminal-Bench. This makes it a primary choice for real-time coding assistants and data curation systems.
Use Cases
Discover the different ways you can use Gemini 3.5 Flash to achieve great results.
