Google announces Gemini 3.6 Flash alongside 3.5 Flash-Lite and Flash Cyber

Good morning. Google had a busy one: they announced Gemini 3.6 Flash alongside Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber. The Cyber model is security-focused, built on 3.5 Flash, and rolling out through a limited-access CodeMender pilot, while Flash-Lite is aimed at high-volume, low-cost workloads via the API. On the leaderboards, Kimi K3 is sitting right at the top of the arena, with Gemini 3.6 Flash close behind it and Flash-Lite a bit further back. Kimi K3 also posted strong marks across multimodal, coding, agentic, and knowledge benchmarks. Enjoy your day!
