Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is Google's lightweight, generally available Gemini 3.5 model, released in July 2026 for high-volume, latency-sensitive work. Google describes it as its fastest and most cost-effective 3.5-class model. It defaults to minimal thinking for quick extraction and routing, and Google recommends higher thinking levels when it runs as a tool-using sub-agent.
Google's Gemini API model page lists a 1,048,576-token input limit and a 65,536-token output limit for Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite.

Where it fits
- High-throughput classification, routing, and JSON extraction
- Document parsing and translation at scale, including PDFs and scanned receipts
- Sub-agents under a larger orchestrator, with thinking raised to medium or high
- Simple coding tasks and lightweight agentic search where latency matters
- Complex, long-horizon coding agents — Gemini 3.6 Flash or 3.5 Flash on ATP fit better
- Audio inputs through ATP — the catalog does not list audio for this id

FAQ
- Can Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite use tools, read images, or think before answering?
- Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite supports tool calling, vision input and extended thinking, but not audio.
- How much context does Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite take?
- Google lists a 1,048,576-token context window for Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite. Source: Google AI for Developers — Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. The model list your key can see shows the limit you actually get.
- Is cached input cheaper on Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite?
- You pay per 1M input tokens and per 1M output tokens. Cached input costs 10% of the normal input price. You only pay when a request succeeds. $1 = 100 credits. See pricing
- How do I call Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite on ATP?
- Create a project API key and point any OpenAI-compatible SDK at https://api.atptoken.ai/v1. Set model to "gemini-3-5-flash-lite" (the API id, not the display name). Make sure the model is turned on for your project.
