Decrypt reports that Google has released new Gemini Flash models, including Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, as well as a restricted cybersecurity model, while Gemini 3.5 Pro remains delayed in testing. The company has also quietly hinted at the development of Gemini 4.
Flash-tier models are the ones most app builders actually ship on, since the cost and latency fit mobile and high-volume calls, so a new Flash generation matters more day-to-day than a delayed Pro. Worth checking whether the cybersecurity model's restrictions affect on-device or privacy-sensitive use cases before you design around it. If Pro keeps slipping, plan capacity around Flash rather than waiting on the flagship.
