Description

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite stands out as the quickest model within Google's Gemini 3.5 lineup, specifically engineered for tasks requiring low latency and for enhancing developer workflows that demand high throughput, including agentic search, document processing, coding, and extensive data analysis. It boasts an impressive output capacity of 350 tokens per second and marks a significant enhancement over earlier Flash-Lite iterations in terms of both quality and agentic capabilities. Developers have the flexibility to adjust the model's thinking level to suit the demands of the task at hand: minimal or low thinking allows for rapid processing of large volumes, while elevated thinking levels accommodate more intricate, multi-step workflows involving subagents. Furthermore, the model is equipped with built-in computational skills, enabling it to interact effectively with various digital environments across compatible platforms. Additionally, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite excels in coding, comprehending long contexts, and executing real-world tasks, consistently outperforming its predecessor, Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, in critical assessments and even exceeding the performance of Gemini 3 Flash on multiple benchmarks related to agentic functions and software engineering. This impressive performance highlights its potential to transform how developers approach complex workflows and data-intensive tasks.

Description

Inkling-Small is an efficient Mixture-of-Experts transformer model built to provide performance comparable to Inkling while using a much smaller active parameter footprint. The model has 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters, making it designed for strong capability with more efficient compute usage. Inkling-Small was trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems and supports native reasoning across text, images, and audio. It offers context windows of up to one million tokens, making it suitable for long documents, large codebases, multimodal context, and extended agent workflows. Users can set reasoning effort from minimal to extra high to control the balance between speed, cost, compute, and task complexity. The model benefits from improved pre-training data, post-training with on-policy distillation from Inkling, and extended agentic coding reinforcement learning. These improvements helped Inkling-Small surpass its larger counterpart on reasoning and coding benchmarks. Its encoder-free multimodal architecture processes audio as dMel spectrograms and images as 40-by-40-pixel patches alongside text tokens. By combining efficient MoE scaling, long-context reasoning, multimodal input, coding strength, and adjustable thinking effort, Inkling-Small is built for practical high-performance AI deployment.
