Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google’s newest Flash-tier model, released on 21 July 2026, with a
\n1M-token context and pricing of $1.50 in \/ $7.50 out per million tokens. To clear up a common
\nsearch: there is no Gemini 4 as of July 2026 \u2014 3.6 Flash is the current latest Gemini
\nrelease, and results claiming otherwise are speculation.<\/p>\n
Against Gemini 3.5 Flash, the input rate is unchanged at $1.50 while output drops from $9
\nto $7.50 \u2014 a 17% cut on the side of the bill that usually dominates. For generation-heavy
\nworkloads, that is a straightforward saving with no capability trade-off implied by the
\npricing, which makes 3.6 Flash the default choice within the Flash line for new work. Where
\nthe difference will not register is on prompt-heavy retrieval workloads, since the input rate
\nis identical; there, the two models are interchangeable on cost and the decision comes down
\nto whatever your evaluations show. As with the rest of the Gemini family, confirm the billing
\ntreatment of prompts above 200K tokens before designing a feature around the full context
