Gemini
* **Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite generally available (GA)**:
Released stable, production-ready versions of our latest 3.x Flash models:

* **Gemini 3.6 Flash** (`gemini-3.6-flash`): Features improved token
efficiency and code/agentic planning capabilities at a lower price point
than 3.5 Flash, resolving developer feedback around output verbosity.
* **Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite** (`gemini-3.5-flash-lite`): Offers a
low-latency, highly cost-effective subagent option designed for
high-volume automation.

To learn more, see the [Gemini 3.6 Flash guide](/docs/whats-new-gemini-3.6).

* **Deprecated parameters**: The sampling parameters `temperature`, `top_p`
and `top_k` are now deprecated. See the [Gemini 3.6 Flash
guide](/docs/whats-new-gemini-3.6#sampling-parameter-deprecation) for
details.
