🚀 **Gemini 3.6 Flash & 3.5 Flash-Lite dual launch, 30+ test cases verified per model on both endpoints**

Google's two July stable text models are live in the `default` / `svip` groups: `gemini-3.6-flash` at \$1.50 in / \$7.50 out and `gemini-3.5-flash-lite` at \$0.30 in / \$2.50 out (per 1M tokens, output includes thinking — identical to official pricing). Both the native Gemini and OpenAI-compatible endpoints were tested item by item: Search grounding, Maps, URL context, code execution and Computer Use (3.6) all verified working, along with 1M context and image/PDF/audio understanding. Key difference: **3.6 thinks by default** (four controllable tiers), while **Lite ships zero-thinking** with \~2s responses — pass `thinkingLevel: "high"` when you need reasoning.
