All 13 rowsWhat it costs to get this score
Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

Published price history
This chart appears only when at least two dated first-party price records exist for the exact model. It shows rate changes, not an inferred cost trend.
2 dated first-party price records. The newest record lists $3.75 per million tokens.
Lineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

Questions
How does Gemini 3.6 Flash perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Gemini 3.6 Flash ranks #45 out of 226 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 62.8/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 13 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Is Gemini 3.6 Flash good for knowledge and understanding?
Gemini 3.6 Flash ranks #37 out of 186 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 64.8/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Gemini 3.6 Flash good for coding and programming?
Gemini 3.6 Flash ranks #43 out of 151 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 51/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Gemini 3.6 Flash good for mathematics?
Gemini 3.6 Flash has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is Gemini 3.6 Flash good for reasoning and logic?
Gemini 3.6 Flash has source-displayable benchmark coverage for reasoning and logic, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is Gemini 3.6 Flash good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?
Gemini 3.6 Flash ranks #55 out of 130 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 47.4/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Does Gemini 3.6 Flash have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Gemini 3.6 Flash currently has 28 source-displayable rows across 686 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Gemini 3.6 Flash?
Gemini 3.6 Flash has a documented context window of 1M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
