Google: Gemini 3 Flash Preview

Gemini 3 Flash Preview is Google's multimodal model, accepting text, image, file, audio, and video as inputs. Its context window reaches 1,048,576 tokens, which accommodates long documents, extended transcripts, and multi-turn sessions without truncation. The model supports tool use and reasoning, making it applicable to agentic workflows and multi-step problem solving. Structured output support is unconfirmed, so developers who depend on guaranteed JSON schemas should verify this before committing. At $0.50 per million input tokens and $3.00 per million output tokens, it sits in the budget-to-mid range on input cost while carrying a moderately higher output price. Its blended benchmark score of 44.7 comes from a single benchmark, so the performance picture is limited and should be treated with caution. Teams processing high-volume, mixed-media content on a cost-conscious budget have reason to shortlist it, but those prioritizing well-validated accuracy should wait for broader benchmark coverage before relying on it for critical applications.
