Google: Gemini 3.5 Flash

Gemini 3.5 Flash is a multimodal model from Google that accepts text, images, video, files, and audio as input. It carries a 1-million-token context window, supports tool use and reasoning, and can generate up to 65,536 tokens per response. Structured output support is unconfirmed based on available data. At $1.50 per million input tokens and $9.00 per million output tokens, it sits in the mid-range tier, not the cheapest option but below frontier-tier pricing. Its blended benchmark score of 84.5 is drawn from only three benchmarks, so treat that figure as a limited signal rather than a comprehensive verdict. The coding sub-score is notably strong, making it a reasonable shortlist candidate for developers running tool-augmented or code-heavy workflows at scale, while the lower agentic score suggests caution for complex multi-step autonomous tasks.
