Best Overall
Google’s Gemini 3 Flash Preview supports multimodal inputs and tool workflows, with separate audio rates and a Gemini 3.6 Flash migration path.
At a glance
API model ID: gemini-3-flash-preview
Capabilities & boundaries
Tool support requires the appropriate API integration; a supported tool is not automatically active in every chat.
High is the documented default for Gemini 3 Flash Preview. Minimal, low, medium, and high are supported; minimal does not guarantee zero thinking. Compare explicit settings when evaluating a replacement because later Flash defaults differ.
Put it to work
Original examples from EZ Ai Assist. Adapt these to your task and the features available in your workspace.
Workflow 01
Keep a recording summary anchored to what was actually supplied.
Summarize this supplied recording or transcript for a teammate who missed it. Identify decisions, assigned actions, and unresolved questions, with timestamps or line references when available. Distinguish explicit commitments from suggestions. Mark unclear speech as uncertain and do not infer names, deadlines, or facts that are not in the source.
Workflow 02
Find mistakes before structured data enters another system.
Compare these extracted records with the source pages and schema below. Identify missing required fields, unsupported values, and formatting mismatches. Cite the source location for each correction and leave unknown values empty according to the schema. Return a validation summary without inventing records or submitting changes.
Workflow 03
Test defaults and costs as well as answer quality.
Design a small comparison of this existing Gemini 3 Flash workflow and Gemini 3.6 Flash. Use the supplied examples to define correctness checks, failure cases, and latency measurements. Include thinking-default differences and audio-input costs where relevant. State what must be measured rather than inventing scores or declaring a winner.

Common questions
The reviewed lifecycle table does not list a shutdown date for gemini-3-flash-preview. It recommends Gemini 3.6 Flash as the replacement. A recommended successor is not the same as an announced shutdown.
Google documents high as the default for this preview model, with minimal, low, medium, and high available. Some later Flash models default to medium. Specify and compare settings when your integration allows it.
Google prices audio input differently from text, image, and video input. Cached audio also has its own rate. Native output remains text, so accepting audio does not mean this endpoint generates speech.
Use the same representative inputs, compare supported controls and tools, and measure quality, latency, and total token cost. Include audio cases if your workflow uses them. Review preview and lifecycle notices before changing an integration.
Yes—adapt these original editorial examples to the inputs and controls available in your workspace. Share only material you are authorized to provide. They are starting points, not benchmarks or a promise of a particular result.
No. The 1,048,576-token input limit is capacity, not a recall guarantee. Organize sources with names and sections, request citations, and check them. The separate maximum output is 65,536 tokens; actual requests must also fit integration limits.
No. The table describes direct Google API token usage. EZ Ai Assist subscriptions and app capabilities are separate. Use our pricing page for current plans and check the app for enabled models and controls.
