gemini-3.1-flash-lite-previewGemini 3.1 Flash Lite Preview is Google's high-efficiency model designed for high-volume and cost-sensitive workloads. It improves overall quality compared to Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite while approaching the performance of Gemini 2.5 Flash across key capabilities. The model delivers enhancements in audio input/ASR, RAG snippet ranking, translation, data extraction, and code completion, and supports configurable thinking levels (minimal, low, medium, high) for flexible cost–performance optimization. With pricing at roughly half the cost of Gemini 3 Flash, it is well suited for large-scale production deployments.

Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's high-efficiency model for coding, agentic workflows, and web and application development. It is optimized to produce polished, production-ready outputs with fewer unnecessary revisions, less hedging, and more direct task execution. By reducing both token usage and the number of model calls required to complete complex tasks, Gemini 3.6 Flash is well suited for high-throughput development, scalable agent systems, and cost-sensitive production workflows.
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is Google's high-efficiency model with enhanced agentic capabilities, optimized for fast, cost-effective inference. It is designed to handle focused tasks with low latency while maintaining strong reasoning and execution quality. Well suited for subagents in complex multi-agent systems, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite excels at executing specialized tasks within larger workflows, making it ideal for scalable agent orchestration and high-throughput production environments.
Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is Google's fastest and most cost-efficient multimodal image generation model, designed for high-throughput visual workflows and real-time applications. It supports text-to-image generation, image editing, and multi-image composition through a unified API, while also producing text outputs alongside images. Delivering image generation in approximately 4 seconds, it combines fast inference with strong character consistency, precise editing, and real-world knowledge. The model generates 1K-resolution images across 14 aspect ratios and embeds an invisible SynthID watermark in all outputs. Optimized for the best balance of quality, speed, and cost, Nano Banana 2 Lite is ideal for prototyping, developer pipelines, and large-scale visual content generation.
