## Source excerpt

Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite are now available on AI Gateway. Gemini 3.6 Flash improves quality across coding, agentic tasks, and web development while consuming fewer tokens and making fewer model calls. It produces cleaner web and app development output. Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite upgrades the agentic capabilities of the Flash-Lite tier, making it a good fit for subagents that handle scoped parts of a larger task. To use them, set model to google/gemini-3.6-flash or google/gemini-3.5-flash-lite in the AI SDK: AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime. It includes built-in custom reporting, Zero Data Retention support, budgets for API keys, routing rules, and more. AI Gateway reflects provider pricing with no markup and does not charge a platform fee on inference, including on Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) requests. Try Gemini 3.6 Flash in the model playground.
