Google Releases 3 New Gemini Models, 3.5 Pro Still Not Available

谷歌一口气发布了三款Gemini新模型，核心亮点是它们都比上一代更快、更省资源，还专门推出一款主打网络安全的小能手——这意味着AI不再只是聊天工具，已经开始深入代码安全和系统修复了。通俗来说，这三款模型就像是谷歌AI家族里的“工兵”和“特种兵”。Gemini 3.6 Flash是扛大梁的“多面手”，写代码、处理图片视频都比以前聪明，而且每次对话能省下17%的“脑力消耗”（token），对开发者来说就是成本更低、速度更快。Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite则是“闪电侠”，每秒能处理350个输出token，还自带了操作电脑的能力，能直接帮你点按钮、填表格，像个可以远程控制电脑的智能助手。最特别的是Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber，它是个“安全卫士”，专门配合一个叫CodeMender的工具，已经在谷歌内部帮安卓、Chrome和YouTube找出了不少漏洞，目前只给政府和合作伙伴用，但未来会开放。这些新模型对普通人的影响很实在：开发者能用更低的成本做出更快的AI应用，未来你用的手机应用、网页搜索可能会响应更快、更聪明；网络安全团队能更快修复漏洞，意味着你用的软件和网站会更安全；而那个会操作电脑的Lite模型，未来或许能帮你自动整理文件、预定日程，让AI真正帮你“动手干活”。至于万众期待的旗舰Gemini 3.5 Pro还在测试中，谷歌甚至已经开始预训练第四代，好戏还在后头。

Google released three new AI models on Tuesday, all built on Gemini 3.5 Flash. The new models are more token-efficient, faster and more reliable across the board. The tech giant also provided an update on the much-anticipated Gemini 3.5 Pro and what’s to come after. A new AI model from the likes of Google, Anthropic or OpenAI is released seemingly every week, with the latest, ChatGPT-5.6, released earlier this month. Google’s latest releases aren’t flagship models compared to what’s on the horizon, but each has its place, including a new model solely focused on cybersecurity. Here’s what’s new in the latest Gemini models from today’s announcement. Gemini 3.6 Flash Google called 3.6 Flash its “workhorse” model that’s now better at coding, knowledge work and multimodal performance. It also promises reduced token usage by up to 17%, and at a lower cost per token versus its predecessor, 3.5. Google says it built the model based on both developer and customer feedback. A series of benchmarks shows 3.6 Flash’s gains in performance and average tokens per task compared to its predecessor. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite Google’s fastest and most cost-effective model can deliver 350 output tokens per second and “significantly” outperforms previous generations when it comes to agentic workflows, according to the blog post. Like 3.6 Flash, this model now supports computer use as a built-in tool to take on more agentic tasks. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber 3.5 Flash Cyber is a specialty model that prioritizes cybersecurity workflows in order to find and fix vulnerabilities. It works alongside an infrastructure agent called CodeMender to help cybersecurity teams quickly identify and patch issues. According to a separate article from Google DeepMind, the new model is already finding and fixing bugs in Google’s internal codebases in Android, Chrome and YouTube. This model will initially be limited to governments and trusted partners, but access will expand in the future. Gemini 3.5 Pro is still on the way While the three latest models are the primary focus for Tuesday’s announcements, Google gave a brief update to its upcoming flagship AI model, Gemini 3.5 Pro. The model is said to currently be in testing with partners, and it plans to make it available as soon as it’s ready. How long that will take is anyone’s guess, but Google’s also already looking ahead to the next generation of AI, too.Google says it has already begun pretraining for Gemini 4, which will be released at an undetermined date. Both Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite are available starting today for developers in the Gemini API via Google AI Studio and Android Studio and the Gemini app. 3.6 Flash is also available in Google Antigravity, and 3.5 Flash-Lite is rolling out to Google Search.
