Google announces Gemini 3.6 Flash and cybersecurity AI, teases 3.5 Pro and Gemini 4

Google announced a significant evolution of its AI models at I/O in May with the release of Gemini 3.5 Flash, and it’s not slowing down. The company revealed three new AI models today, including its first version of Gemini geared toward cybersecurity. However, none of the new models is the delayed Gemini 3.5 Pro, which was supposed to launch in June.

Gemini 3.5 Flash, which was the star of the show at I/O, has already been deprecated. In its place, developers and users will find Gemini 3.6 Flash. Google makes the usual claims about this model—it’s marginally more capable and better at coding, and it has great multimodal features.

Google says the changes to 3.6 Flash were made in response to user feedback on the 3.5 release. In general, Gemini 3.5 Flash didn’t appear to live up to Google’s promises around code generation. Perhaps that is simply a consequence of Google’s intense focus on efficiency as businesses have started to fret over the cost of AI tokens.
