Gemini-3-Flash

Building on the reasoning capabilities of Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash is a powerful but affordable and performant model. It has exceptional world knowledge, multimodal understanding and reasoning capabilities at a fraction of the cost of equivalent models (as of December 2025). Optional parameters: To set thinking level, add --thinking_level and set it to either `minimal`, `low`, `high`. This is set to `low` as default. To use web search and real-time information access, add `--web_search true` to enable and add `--web_search false` to disable (default setting).
