Gemini 3.6 Flash
Google's 21 Jul 2026 mid-tier release, replacing Gemini 3.5 Flash. Introductory pricing of $0.75 input / $3.75 output per 1M tokens runs through 31 Dec 2026, after which the standard $1.50 / $7.50 rate applies; cached input is $0.15 and batch mode is half rate. 1M context, native audio and video understanding, and the fastest response times in the frontier-adjacent band. Note that Google shipped no Gemini 3.2–3.5 Pro: the Pro line still tops out at Gemini 3.1 Pro, and the 3.5/3.6 releases are all Flash-tier.
