Google: Gemini 3.5 Flash

Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash is an AI model capable of processing text, images, videos, files, and audio, with a context length of up to 1MB and support for reasoning and tools, though it does not offer structured output. This model excels in coding tasks but shows less strength in agentic scenarios. For those looking for robust multi-modal handling at a reasonable price point-Gemini 3.5 Flash offers competitive benchmark scores of 84.2 across three independent tests, making it a strong contender; however, its current pricing is on the higher side, with input costing $1.5 per million tokens and output at $9.0 per million. While effective for many tasks, its performance in agentic contexts may not be as polished, so consider your specific needs before shortlisting this model.
