Details
- Google has launched Gemini 3 Flash, a new AI model for developers focusing on speed and cost efficiency, accessible through platforms such as Google AI Studio, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Android Studio, and Vertex AI.
- Priced at just $0.50 per million input tokens and $3 per million output tokens, Gemini 3 Flash is less than a quarter of the cost of Gemini 3 Pro while delivering frontier-level intelligence.
- This model achieves top-tier performance metrics, with 90.4% on the GPQA Diamond reasoning benchmark and 33.7% on Humanity's Last Exam, outperforming Gemini 2.5 Pro in many tests and running three times faster.
- Building on the November 2025 Gemini 3 Pro release, Gemini 3 Flash enhances visual and spatial reasoning and supports a wide range of use cases, including code analysis, gaming applications, deepfake detection, and document processing.
- Early customers like Resemble AI and Harvey are already utilizing the model for real-world applications in deepfake detection and legal analysis, while game developers are leveraging its advanced video and reasoning capabilities.
Impact
Gemini 3 Flash intensifies the competition with OpenAI by matching GPT-5.2 on several key benchmarks at a fraction of the cost, potentially accelerating broader AI adoption. This aggressive pricing move opens advanced AI capabilities to more developers and enterprises, signaling a shift toward more affordable, scalable, reasoning-grade models for industries including legal tech, content security, and gaming.
