Google: Gemini 3.5 Flash

Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash accepts text, image, video, audio, and file inputs, which makes it a fit for workloads that mix document parsing with media analysis in a single pipeline. Its context window of 1,048,576 tokens can hold very long inputs such as large codebases or lengthy transcripts, and responses can run up to 65,536 tokens. It supports tool calling and a reasoning mode. The listing does not confirm structured output support, so verify that before relying on it for strict JSON workflows. At $1.50 per million input tokens and $9.00 per million output tokens, the price structure favors input-heavy jobs like summarization or retrieval over long-form generation. Its blended benchmark score of 53.5 rests on a single independent benchmark (an AI Index score of 53.8), so the evidence for its standing is thin. Shortlist it if you need broad multimodal input and a very large context window, but run your own evaluations before committing.
