Gemini 3 Flash brings faster AI responses to everyday experiences

The Gemini 3 Flash’s arrival marks Google’s latest step in expanding its Gemini 3 family, bringing a faster and more efficient AI model to a wider audience. Introduced just weeks after the debut of Gemini 3 Pro, the new Flash variant focuses on speed and accessibility while retaining advanced reasoning abilities. Google has now made it the default model across the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search, signalling a shift towards large-scale everyday AI use.

Gemini 3 Flash delivers faster intelligence at scale

Google positions Gemini 3 Flash as a model that closes the gap between high-end reasoning and real-world responsiveness. Built on the same foundation as Gemini 3 Pro, it delivers strong performance across complex reasoning, multimodal understanding and coding tasks, while significantly reducing latency.

According to Google, Gemini 3 Flash can run up to three times faster than Gemini 2.5 Pro and uses fewer tokens for routine thinking tasks by dynamically adjusting how much reasoning is applied.

On widely referenced benchmarks, Gemini 3 Flash performs close to top-tier models. It scored 33.7 percent on Humanity’s Last Exam without tools, narrowing the gap with premium AI systems, and achieved 81.2 percent on the MMMU-Pro multimodal benchmark, placing it at the top of the field. This balance of speed and reasoning makes it suitable for agent-driven workflows, rapid app development, video and image analysis, and interactive applications.

For developers and enterprises, the model is available through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Antigravity, Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise. Pricing has been set at around $0.50 (~Rs 40) per million input tokens and $3 (~Rs 250) per million output tokens, with Google noting improved efficiency that can reduce overall usage costs in production environments.

Gemini 3 Flash rollout

Gemini 3 Flash is rolling out globally as the default model in the Gemini app, replacing Gemini 2.5 Flash. It is also being integrated into AI Mode in Google Search, where it powers faster and more structured responses. Users can rely on it for analysing images, short videos and audio recordings, sketch recognition, and even quick app prototyping through voice or text prompts.
