Gemini 3.6 Flash

Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's new-generation fast thinking model: it adds an explicit thinking (reasoning) step at Flash-tier latency and cost, handles a 1,000,000-token context with up to 64K tokens of output, and accepts image input. NezhaGate exposes four thinking-budget tiers: the standard gemini-3.6-flash, the deeper gemini-3.6-flash-high, the fastest gemini-3.6-flash-low, and gemini-3.6-flash-tiered, where the model decides per request how much to think. All four cost the same per token — how much a tier thinks simply shows up as output tokens. It is served through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint: point base_url at NezhaGate and set model to "gemini-3.6-flash" to reuse your existing OpenAI SDK code, with pay-as-you-go billing where failed requests are not charged.

Use cases

How to choose

Use the standard gemini-3.6-flash by default; switch to gemini-3.6-flash-high for multi-step reasoning; use gemini-3.6-flash-low for bulk classification, extraction and rewriting, where it is both fastest and cheapest in practice; and pick gemini-3.6-flash-tiered when request difficulty is unpredictable and you would rather let the model decide. All four share one price, so changing tier is just changing the model field. Step up to Gemini 3.1 Pro when you need more reasoning depth.
