Gemini 3.5 Flash, Google’s latest Flash-tier model, is now rolling out on GitHub Copilot. In our early testing, Gemini 3.5 Flash delivers near-Pro coding quality at Flash-tier speed and cost with strong tool use, fast response times, and high cache efficiency that make it well-suited for fast, iterative agentic coding workflows.

Note, that while this model is launching with a 14X premium request multiplier, pricing is tentative and subject to change.

Availability in GitHub Copilot

Gemini 3.5 Flash will be available to Copilot Pro, Copilot Pro+, Copilot Business, and Copilot Enterprise users.

You’ll be able to select the model in:

  • Visual Studio Code in versions 1.115.0 or later
  • Visual Studio in versions 17.14.22 or 18.1.0 and later
  • JetBrains
  • Xcode
  • Eclipse

Rollout will be gradual. Check back soon if you don’t see it yet.

Enabling access

Copilot Enterprise and Copilot Business plan administrators must enable the Gemini 3.5 Flash policy in Copilot settings.
