Google: Gemini 3.6 Flash (batch)
Gemini 3.6 Flash from Google is an advanced AI model capable of handling text, images, videos, files, and audio inputs. It boasts a substantial context length of 1048576 tokens and supports reasoning and tools, making it versatile for complex tasks. While structured output isn't supported, the model excels in coding with a perfect score of 100 on that benchmark. This model is ideal for those looking to integrate diverse input types into their projects; however, its high price point of $3.75 per million output tokens might be prohibitive. With a blended benchmark score of 83.9 across three independent benchmarks, it performs well but may not be the most cost-effective choice for everyone.
