We’re rolling out three new models to make AI agents faster, smarter, and cheaper at scale: 🔵 Gemini 3.6 Flash: It uses fewer tokens than 3.5 Flash to deliver higher quality work at the exact same cost. 🔵 Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite: A fast, cost-effective option for everyday tasks like processing documents and agentic search. 🔵 Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber: A cybersecurity model built to find and patch critical software vulnerabilities. Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite are rolling out now in the Gemini app. Developers can start building via the API in Google AI Studio and Android Studio. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber will be exclusively available via CodeMender soon as part of a limited-access pilot program.
Build an intelligent app with us. 🧠 To help you navigate AI choices for Android, we’re launching a new technical blog post series using Jetpacker, a demo travel app built from the ground up to showcase Android AI capabilities, to walk you through real-world implementations: 1️⃣ Intro to the app → https://goo.gle/45gUH6g 2️⃣ On-device inference → https://goo.gle/4b7zgIh 3️⃣ Hybrid and cloud reasoning → https://goo.gle/3R9D8lr 4️⃣ System integration → https://goo.gle/4yE0dxA
From prompt to native Android app in minutes with AI Studio. Concept, build, and deploy to a physical device - all driven by prompts. We demonstrated the power of vibe coding by building a minimalist fitness and to-do app, complete with a Gemini API-powered chat tab, and running it natively on a phone. The workflow: 1️⃣ Prompt and iterate: Define your app and refine features instantly in AI Studio. 2️⃣ Preview: Test UI and flow inside the built-in emulator. 3️⃣ Deploy: Enable USB debugging and install the standalone app directly via cable. Ready to explore the full iterative process and how to get started? 👇 Watch the full episode here: https://goo.gle/3T2crPZ
