Gemini 3.5 Flash

by Google

Released 47 days after Gemma 4 31B · All Google releases

Gemini 3.5 Flash is Google's effort to combine frontier-level intelligence with high speed, running roughly 4x faster than other frontier models while holding strong reasoning. Google reports it outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro on demanding evaluations including coding (Terminal-Bench 2.1 at 76.2%) and agent performance (GDPval-AA at 1656 Elo), making it a fit for high-throughput agentic systems. The 1M token context window lets it process large documents, codebases, and long conversation histories. Gemini 3.5 Flash accepts text, image, audio, and video inputs and returns text, supports configurable thinking levels to trade off quality, cost, and latency, and is strong at tool use and function calling. With up to 64K output tokens, it targets applications where speed and reasoning quality both matter.

Uptime and availability

Gemini 3.5 Flash runs on a single route through the Opper gateway today, so its availability is that provider's availability.

99.00%route uptime, last 30 days
Single route, no failover target within this model.

Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. Set up a fallback chain.

Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.

Data handling per route

Each route hosting Gemini 3.5 Flash has its own privacy posture, residency, and GDPR terms. Postures are maintained by Opper with a last-verification timestamp.

Get started

Call Gemini 3.5 Flash through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly — Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up Opper for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.OPPER_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.opper.ai/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "gemini/gemini-3.5-flash",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
