#ai #chatgpt #python #productivity

Google has introduced Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber.

What is new

Gemini 3.6 Flash is positioned for stronger coding, knowledge work, multimodal tasks, and agentic workflows. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is positioned for lower-cost, high-throughput execution. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is a specialized security model connected to CodeMender.

Migration checks

Remove deprecated sampling parameters if your integration still depends on them.
Measure total task cost, not only token price.
Track retries, tool calls, and human review time.
Treat Flash Cyber as a separate limited-access security path.
