Gemini 3 Flash Preview vs Gemini 3.5 Flash

Gemini 3 Flash Preview is a high-speed, cost-effective reasoning model built for agent-driven workflows, multi-turn conversation, and coding support. Offering near-Pro level performance in both reasoning and tool use, it stands out by delivering significantly lower latency than larger Gemini versions—making it ideal for interactive development, long-running agent loops, and collaborative programming. Compared to Gemini 2.5 Flash, it features notable improvements in reasoning ability, multimodal comprehension, and overall reliability. The model supports a 1M token context window and handles multimodal inputs—text, images, audio, video, and PDFs—with text-based output. Features like configurable reasoning levels, structured outputs, tool integration, and automatic context caching make it a strong choice for users seeking powerful agentic capabilities without the high cost or lag of more extensive models.

Gemini 3.5 Flash is Google's high-efficiency multimodal model, bringing near-Pro level coding and reasoning at Flash-tier cost and speed. It is highly optimized for coding proficiency and parallel agentic execution loops, supporting text, image, video, audio, and PDF inputs.
