# Gemini 3.5 Flash

Google · released 2026-05-19 · proprietary

 $3.38 per million tokens, balanced Balanced Summarise Chat Code gen Agentic

## Gemini 3.7 Flash is both better and cheaper.

It scores **+4** higher and costs **78% less** ($0.750/M against $3.38/M) on this workload — and it does everything this model does.

[GLM 5.3](/models/z-ai__glm-5.3) is cheaper still (36% less) but drops no image, video, file, audio input.

The same model via **batch** is 50% cheaper ($1.69/M) — same weights, different latency.

### Every price dimension

| Input | $1.50 /M |
| --- | --- |
| Output | $9.00 /M |
| Cached input | $0.150 /M |
| Cache write | $0.083 /M |
| Reasoning | $9.00 /M |
| Web search | $0.014 /call |
| Batch discount | 50% |

**Reasoning tokens are billed separately** at $9.00/M, on top of output. On a reasoning-heavy workload this can be 40% of the bill and it does not appear in the advertised price.

### Independent scores

| Intelligence | 52 |
| --- | --- |
| Coding | 70.1 |
| Agentic | 39.7 |
| LMArena Elo | 1482.6 high |

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
