Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite is Google’s GA high-efficiency multimodal model optimized for low-latency, high-volume workloads. It supports text, image, video, audio, and PDF inputs, with a 1M-token context window and up to 64K output tokens. The model is designed for lightweight agentic workflows, simple data extraction, classification, summarization, document understanding, and responsive applications where API cost and speed are primary constraints. It supports thinking levels from minimal to high for fine-grained cost/performance control and is priced at half the cost of Gemini 3 Flash.
