Google has launched Gemini 3 Flash, a new AI model focused on speed and efficiency. It offers faster responses for everyday tasks and real-time use. This is the latest addition to the Gemini 3 family, following the recent release of Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Deep Think.
Google has launched Gemini 3 Flash, which delivers high-level intelligence at much faster speeds and lower cost. The tech giant is making this model accessible to everyone, applicable across the company’s products.
In a recent blog, Saurabh Tiwary, VP & GM of Cloud AI, shared that the Gemini 3 Flash is built to be highly efficient, pushing the boundaries of quality at better price, performance, and speed. Tiwary further added, “With a near real-time response from the model, businesses can now provide more engaging experiences for their end users at production scale, without sacrificing on quality.”
Gemini 3 Flash combines the reasoning abilities of Gemini 3 Pro with low-latency, allowing quick answers while handling complex tasks like advanced reasoning, coding, and understanding images/videos. The model is effective for difficult academic and knowledge benchmarks.
“Gemini 3 Flash eliminates the lag typically associated with large models when it comes to intelligence. Its low latency powers responsive applications, from live customer support agents to in-game assistants,” Google mentioned during its new AI model launch.
The company has introduced frontier performance across complex reasoning, multimodal and vision understanding, as well as agentic and vibe-coding tasks for industries.
"Gemini 3 Flash gives us a powerful new frontier model to fuel Workday's AI-first strategy. From delivering sharper inference in our customer-facing applications to unlocking greater efficiency in our own operations and development, it provides the performance boost to continue to innovate rapidly." said Dean Arnold, VP of AI Platform at Workday.
John Kucera, SVP of Product Management at Salesforce AI mentioned how integrating Gemini 3 Flash into Agentforce is another step forward towards bringing AI to customers, thus deploying intelligent agents faster than ever.
Gemini 3 Flash is rolling out globally. Gemini 3 Flash is a default model for regular users, set to replace Gemini 2.5 Flash. It is also rolling out as the default model for the AI Mode in Google Search.
Developers can now access the Gemini 3 Flash model through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio, Gemini CLI, Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise, and Google’s new agentic platform, Google Antigravity, as per the company’s statements.
Google is building its speed-first AI to meet growing demands for real-time, everyday use cases. Gemini 3 Flash positions the tech giant to challenge rivals like ChatGPT, offering faster responses, wider access, and practical performance improvements for both users and developers.
