Is Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite out yet?
No.
What is Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite?
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is an upcoming lightweight model from Google DeepMind, positioned as the low-cost, high-throughput tier of the Gemini 3.5 family. It has not been released, but it has appeared in Google's official Gemini API documentation under the model code gemini-3.5-flash-lite, described as a stable multimodal API model supporting code execution, function calling, search grounding, structured outputs, and thinking.
Based on Google's API documentation, the model is expected to target high-volume, low-cost workloads while offering multimodal input and developer features like function calling and structured outputs.

OutYet reporting
- Google separates its Flash line by agent workload, cost, and access
Google’s Gemini update draws a practical boundary between a general agent model, a high-throughput option, and a restricted cyber model, while leaving vendor performance claims to independent validation.
- Gemini 3.6 Flash is an efficiency upgrade, not a general-intelligence leap
Independent measurements support Google's latency and cost case, while showing that the new Flash tier does not materially raise aggregate intelligence over Gemini 3.5 Flash.
- Google splits its Flash line between general agents, high-volume work, and restricted cyber use
Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite are production API options, while 3.5 Flash Cyber remains a limited-access CodeMender pilot.
- Google's Gemini Flash split sharpens the fast-model decision
Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber separate general agent work, throughput-sensitive workloads, and cyber-agent use cases more clearly than a single Flash label did.
