Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is being positioned as the company’s smallest and fastest Gemini model.
According to the post, it is:
- capable of nearly 350 output tokens per second
- often more intelligent than Gemini 3 in many cases
- priced the same as, but smarter than, Gemini 2.5 Flash
- faster than 3.1 Flash-Lite on most use cases
The poster says the latency makes it feel especially smooth for UI experiences and even viable for agent harnesses.
