introducing Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite: our fastest, most cost-effective 3.5 model for high-throughput execution available now in AI Studio and the Gemini API

Been waiting for this one! ⚡️

Will you drop benchmarks? How is it compared to 3.1 flash lite?

how does this compare to running it locally with ollama

Efficiency is more than a technical achievement; it is a bridge toward accessibility. By distilling frontier-level intelligence into a high-throughput, cost-effective model like Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, the focus shifts toward the democratization of capability. It ensures that the spark of human imagination finds a faster, more reliable vessel for realization, allowing innovation to reach further and faster. 🌟 How do you envision this balance of speed and accessibility reshaping the landscape for developers building for the many rather than the few?

So 3x faster and 5x cheaper... Thanks! People are getting mad about Google not releasing 3.5 Pro yet, but damn, we also need these fast, cheap, and capable models for many token-intensive tasks. Not every task needs an Einstein.

Release something better than GPT Or Opus. You're downgrading.

Performance is lackluster, knowledge base is outdated. Prices aren't as cheap as expected.

It's not competitive.

Can't wait to see how this model performs.

Google has its own strategy

高吞吐场景终于不用太纠结延迟了

The price doesn't seem as cheap as OpenAI's, and the quality isn't as good as Claude'. What an awkward product. I doubt even your own engineers use this. 😓

Flash-Lite already looking snappy! How much cheaper are we talking for high-volume use?

Speed and price could make this especially useful for high-volume AI products. The key test will be whether it maintains reliable structured outputs and tool calls at scale—not just lower latency.

Can I trust that if I use this in an app via the API that requests will actually process? I was getting to the point where my requests in the API were failing as often as they were succeeding.

Nayy, not the post I was waiting for.

How to make such videos?

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Liteの発表、速さと実用性をしっかり考えたモデルで素晴らしいですね。 動画で比較を見ると、処理時間が大幅に短くなり高スループットな作業がスムーズになりそうです。特に日常的なタスクでこの軽快さはありがたいです。 今後活用してみたいと思います。

Lowering latency is the real hurdle for agentic workflows. Does this model maintain the same reasoning reliability as the standard version, or is it strictly for simpler tasks?

Being a Gemini Pro user is awesome, but quick heads-up: Google One subscription limits usually apply to the web app interface rather than free developer API tokens. Still hoping they drop some sweet API perks for subscribers soon! 🤖💬

Upgrade

Positioning this one purely on throughput/cost instead of quality is a good tell — Flash-Lite is clearly the volume tier, 3.6 Flash is the quality tier. Interesting that Google’s splitting the Flash line this way instead of one model doing both.

please don't. your ai is useless piece of shit

Flash-Lite is built for the boring high-volume jobs that quietly become huge businesses. Cost efficiency matters.

Too bad guys, it's really too expensive. Might as well go with DeepSeek, it'll do the job just fine :/

Enterprise AI success increasingly depends on solutions that combine speed, reliability, and scalability. Exciting to see continued progress in this direction.
