As AI models are now finding vulnerabilities faster than we can fix them, our approach to securing software must be built on highly efficient and capable models. Which brings us to our third (!) model launch of the day: Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber ⚡🛡️ Built on top of 3.5 Flash, in CodeMender (our AI agent for code security) it delivers competitive performance at the frontier. on benchmarks like CyberGym and is optimized for finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities at scale at a lower cost. Given the dual-use nature of this technology, we have taken an intentional approach to its deployment. The model will be available exclusively to governments and trusted partners via CodeMender soon as part of a limited-access pilot program.
Context
Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber was announced as a specialized model for finding and fixing software vulnerabilities through CodeMender, a code-security . In its July 21, 2026 announcement, Google AI said access would begin through a limited pilot for governments and trusted partners. The company tied that restriction to the possibility of misuse: capabilities that help defenders locate weaknesses can also assist attackers. The announced deployment therefore couples the model with a specific security workflow and controlled access.
