Gemini 3 Flash

At first glance, Flash models are usually about speed and price. What’s different here is that Gemini 3 Flash actually outperforms Gemini 2.5 Pro, the previous flagship, across most major benchmarks, while costing significantly less.

I’ve attached a screenshot above that highlights one important advantage: token efficiency. You can see that Gemini 3 Flash produces strong responses using fewer tokens than the other models, which helps keep tools fast, clean, and easier to scale.

What this means for Pickaxe builders

  • If you’re using Gemini 2.5 Flash, this is an easy upgrade.

  • If you’re using Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash is now a realistic replacement with better performance at a lower cost.

  • It’s especially well suited for customer support bots, public tools, agentic workflows, and high-volume use cases where speed and predictability matter.

Gemini 3 Flash is available now in the model dropdown.

Try it with your existing Pickaxes and see how it performs for your workload.
