Google Launches AI to Hunt Software Bugs

Google announced three new Gemini AI models, with Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber focusing on cybersecurity. This specialized model, built upon Gemini 3.5 Flash, is designed to find, confirm, and remediate software vulnerabilities within Google's CodeMender agent.

Initially, Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber will be accessible exclusively to governments and trusted partners. This deliberate rollout strategy aims to provide frontline defenders with an advantage in securing systems while mitigating potential misuse of the technology. Google stated that this model offers competitive performance at a lower cost compared to other large cybersecurity AI models.

The company also introduced Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite to the public. Gemini 3.6 Flash provides enhanced coding and multimodal capabilities with improved token efficiency. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is positioned as a faster and more cost-effective option within the 3.5 series. Both are available through the Gemini app, Google AI Studio, and Android Studio.
