Google launches Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber for CodeMender, with limited access for governments
GoogleAI · x · 2026-07-22
Google says models are now finding vulnerabilities faster than humans can patch them, so software defense must be powered by highly capable models.
- Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is a new model built on top of 3.5 Flash and used in CodeMender, Google's AI agent for code security.
- The company says it reaches competitive frontier performance on benchmarks such as CyberGym while being optimized to find and fix vulnerabilities at scale at lower cost.
- Because of the dual-use risk, Google says the model will launch only in a limited-access pilot for governments and trusted partners.
- The attached chart shows Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber at 83.2% on CyberGym, between Anthropic's and OpenAI's cyber models in the comparison shown.
