Google Unveils Agentic AI Models with Focus on Efficiency and Security
Google has unveiled three new AI models, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, expanding its family of agentic AI applications.
The company said that the new models are faster, cheaper, and more efficient than their predecessors, with a focus on improving coding, multimodal reasoning, and knowledge work.
Gemini 3.6 Flash is aimed at coding tasks and reduces latency and inference costs for multi-step AI workflows by requiring fewer reasoning steps and tool calls, according to Google.
The company also introduced Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, a cybersecurity-focused model built on Gemini 3.5 Flash and fine-tuned to identify and fix software vulnerabilities at a lower cost than larger AI models.
Flash Cyber works with CodeMender's security agent, using multiple AI agents to generate a single vulnerability report, and delivers competitive frontier performance on the CyberGym benchmark, said Google.
