About this model
Gemini 3.6 Flash provides sustained frontier-level intelligence optimized for real-world tasks at higher speed and lower cost. Designed for the agentic era, it excels at code generation, agentic execution, and spatial reasoning. Released July 21, 2026.
Best suited for
- Code generation and complex coding cycles
- Agentic task execution
- Spatial reasoning
- Multimodal workflows (text, image, video, audio, PDF)
- Long-context tasks (1M tokens)
Built-in tools
Hosted by the gateway — enable them per request without wiring your own endpoint.
Capabilities
Vision
Accepts images alongside text in the same message.
Files
Accepts file attachments — PDFs, transcripts, spreadsheets.
Tools
Native function calling, so agents can invoke your endpoints.
System prompt
Honours a dedicated system role, separate from the user turn.
Reasoning
Emits a separate thinking pass before the answer.
Supported parameters
max_tokensMax Tokens LimitSpecifies the maximum number of text units (tokens) allowed in a response, limiting its length.
toolsLists tool definitions or capabilities available to the model.
tool_choiceDecides whether to use tools or just the model for generating responses.
response_typeDefines the format or type of the generated response.
parallel_tool_callsEnables parallel execution of tools, allowing multiple tools to run simultaneously.
