1. Why Do You NEED This Feature?
I NEED this feature because:
- Google recently released the Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber models on July 21, 2026.
- Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's latest workhorse model that offers frontier-level intelligence optimized for multi-step orchestration, full-stack code refactoring, and general reasoning at a much lower cost ($1.50 / $7.50 per 1M tokens) and higher speed.
- Currently, users cannot leverage these newly launched Gemini models in Forge, limiting their productivity compared to using other platforms.
2. What Is NOT Possible Right Now?
Currently, I cannot:
- Configure or select
gemini-3.6-flash, gemini-3.5-flash-lite, or gemini-3.5-flash-cyber in Forge configuration files or interactive menus.
- Use these high-performance, cost-efficient models for multi-step code generation or multi-agent workflows within the Forge terminal.
3. What WILL Be Possible With This Feature?
With this feature, I will be able to:
- Use
gemini-3.6-flash, gemini-3.5-flash-lite, and gemini-3.5-flash-cyber natively in Forge.
- Run multi-step agentic workflows with 1M context window at extremely low latency and cost.
- Select these models interactively via
:model command.
Proposed Solution (User Experience)
From a user's perspective, the feature should work like this:
- The new models
gemini-3.6-flash, gemini-3.5-flash-lite, and gemini-3.5-flash-cyber will be available under google_ai_studio and vertex_ai providers.
- When running
:model, users can select these models from the list.
Alternatives Considered
None. These are official Google Gemini model releases and must be supported natively.
Feature Category
AI/LLM Integration
Priority/Impact
High - Would significantly improve my workflow
Examples from Other Tools
Other major development tools and SDKs have already added native support for Gemini 3.6 Flash.
