Seed2.0 (ByteDance Seed) Tool

Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite Tool
Google's economy-tier models went generally available on July 21, with 3.6 Flash keeping a million-token context and 64,000-token output while dropping its output price roughly a sixth versus 3.5 Flash and using about 17 percent fewer output tokens per task. Note the migration-breaking changes: some sampling parameters are deprecated and prefilled model turns are no longer supported.
