Gemini 3.6 Flash
Overview
Gemini 3.6 Flash is a Gemini 3-series model for agentic coding, multimodal knowledge work, spatial reasoning, and multi-step workflows. On B.AI, use the model ID gemini-3.6-flash.
Key Features
- Agentic Workflows: Designed for repeated reasoning, tool calls, and multi-step task execution.
- Multimodal Input: Supports text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with text output.
- Configurable Thinking: Supports thinking levels for balancing quality, latency, and token usage.
- Long Context: Supports up to 1,048,576 input tokens for large document collections, codebases, and extended task histories.
- Tool Integration: Supports function calling, structured outputs, code execution, grounding, URL context, and file-search workflows when enabled by the API configuration.
Best Use Cases
- Agentic software engineering, including code generation, debugging, migrations, and repository-scale changes.
- Multimodal knowledge work, such as document analysis, chart interpretation, and report drafting.
- Long-context analysis across large codebases, document sets, and task histories.
- Tool-using workflows that combine reasoning, structured output, and repeated execution steps.
Capabilities and Limitations
| Capability | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Reasoning | Supports configurable thinking levels for tasks that need different quality, latency, and cost tradeoffs. |
| Coding | Suitable for iterative coding, debugging, and multi-step engineering workflows. |
| Multimodal | Supports text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with text output. |
| Context Window | Supports up to 1,048,576 input tokens. |
| Max Output | Supports up to 65,536 output tokens. |
| Tool Use | Supports function calling, structured outputs, code execution, grounding, URL context, and file-search workflows when available. |
| Multilingual | Suitable for multilingual developer and knowledge-work tasks. |
Known Limitations
- The model can produce inaccurate responses; use grounding or current external data when up-to-date information is required.
- Actual latency and tool availability vary with thinking level, prompt size, media inputs, and API configuration.
- Output is text-only; native image and audio generation are not included.
