Google DeepMind has introduced three new AI models under the Gemini 3.5 Flash family: Flash, Flash Light, and Flash Cyber. The 'Flash' variants are designed to be cheaper and faster than more advanced models, with Gemini 3.6 Flash priced at $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens. The cybersecurity-focused Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is integrated into a 'code mentor agent' capable of building exploit code.
“Google DeepMind has released three new AI models. Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash Light and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber.”
“Gemini 3.6 Flash is priced $1.5 per million input tokens and $7.5 per million output tokens. So that's slightly cheaper than Sonnet 5, not super cheap.”
“And then there is of course, the cybersecurity focused Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, which is integrated into this code mentor agent that automatically builds exploit code to verify vulnerabilities in sandboxed environments and then generates patches, which they say has found problems in complex real pieces of software such as V8 JavaScript engine.”
