| Summary | Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's high-efficiency model for coding, agentic workflows, and web and application development. It is optimized to produce polished, production-ready outputs with fewer unnecessary revisions, less hedging, and more direct task execution. By reducing both token usage and the number of model calls required to complete complex tasks, Gemini 3.6 Flash is well suited for high-throughput development, scalable agent systems, and cost-sensitive production workflows. | Gemini 3.1 Flash Image served from Google Vertex AI. Billed per image at US$0.067. Call it through /v1/chat/completions with stream set to false; the image is returned in the message content as a base64 data URI. Maximum output resolution is 2K. A request for a larger size, such as 4K or 4096x4096, returns a 2K image with the same aspect ratio at the same price. When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size, for example 4096x4096->2048x2048. |
