Google: Gemini 3.6 Flash

Gemini 3.6 Flash is a Google model that accepts text, image, video, audio, and file inputs, so a single endpoint can cover mixed-media workloads. It offers a context window of 1,048,576 tokens and can return up to 65,536 tokens per completion, enough to process long documents or lengthy transcripts in one request. It supports tool calling and reasoning; structured output support is not documented in the available data. Teams that need long-context, multimodal processing with tool use should consider it. Pricing is $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens. Because output costs five times as much as input, it is most economical for input-heavy jobs such as summarizing or querying large files. Its blended benchmark score of 56.1 comes from a single independent benchmark, so its measured standing rests on limited evidence. Readers should test it on their own tasks before committing.
