gemini-3.6-flash
gpt-5.5Gemini 3.6 Flash provides sustained frontier-level intelligence optimized for real-world tasks at a higher speed and lower cost. Designed for the agentic era, it excels at code generation, agentic execution, and spatial reasoning. This model is particularly effective for rapid agentic loops involving complex coding cycles and iterations.
GPT-5.5 raises the baseline for complex production workflows. It’s a strong fit for coding use cases, tool-heavy agents, grounded assistants, long-context retrieval, product-spec-to-plan workflows, and customer-facing workflows where execution quality and response polish are critical.
Prices are per million tokens. Latency and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
