Gemini 3 models, native multimodality, generative media, and Google's developer platforms.
Google develops the Gemini family of multimodal models, which appear across its consumer products, the Gemini app, and developer platforms. Models are offered to developers through the Gemini API and through Vertex AI on Google Cloud. The platform covers general reasoning as well as image, audio, video, music, embeddings, and agent workflows.
Gemini 3 line-up
Google separates stable production models from preview models:
- Gemini 3.6 Flash is a stable general model balancing speed and intelligence for agentic and multimodal tasks.
- Gemini 3.5 Flash is a stable higher-capability option for sustained coding and agent workflows.
- Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is the fastest 3.5 tier for high-throughput extraction, structured data, and lightweight subagent work.
- Gemini 3.1 Pro is a preview model for advanced problem solving, coding, and agentic tasks.
The stable Flash models support long context, reasoning controls, multimodal
input, and built-in tools. For production systems, a specific stable model ID is
more predictable than a latest alias or an experimental release.
Media and real-time models
Google’s model catalog extends beyond text generation:
- Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2 Lite, and Nano Banana Pro cover image generation and editing at different quality and throughput levels.
- Veo 3.1 generates video with creative controls and synchronized audio.
- Gemini Omni Flash provides conversational video generation and editing.
- Live and TTS variants support real-time voice interaction and speech output.
- Lyria 3 models generate music, while Gemini Embedding 2 maps text, images, video, audio, and documents into a shared embedding space.
Agents and integration
Gemini models can combine custom function calling with built-in tools such as Google Search, URL context, code execution, and computer use. Google also exposes specialized managed systems for deep research and autonomous agent tasks.
The platform’s distinguishing feature is integration across formats and products: the same broader model ecosystem connects consumer assistants, Workspace and Android experiences, the Gemini developer API, and enterprise deployment through Google Cloud.
