Google releases three new Gemini models — but no 3.5 Pro
Summary
Google DeepMind has introduced three new models to its AI lineup: Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber. The 3.6 Flash serves as an improved and more cost-effective workhorse model, 3.5 Flash-Lite provides high cost-efficiency, and 3.5 Flash Cyber is a specialized tool restricted to governments and trusted partners for cybersecurity tasks. Notably absent from the release is the anticipated Gemini 3.5 Pro, which has faced internal performance-related delays amid intense competition from rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic.
