Google doubles down on cheaper Gemini models to outpace rivals

TL;DR Summary
Google unveils three new Gemini models—3.5 Flash Cyber, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite—expanding pricing and performance options: Cyber targets vulnerability detection and will be limited to governments and trusted partners, 3.6 Flash trims token use by up to 17% and lowers costs for higher-volume workloads, and 3.5 Flash-Lite offers fast, low-cost performance for large AI-agent systems. The rollout positions Google against Anthropic and Chinese rivals while advancing a broader Gemini roadmap and cost-cutting hardware efforts ahead of Alphabet’s earnings.
