Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is a lightweight multimodal model in Google's Gemini 3.5 family, built for high-throughput and latency-sensitive production workloads. It is well suited to agentic search, document processing, coding subtasks, routing, summarization, and other flows where fast response times and scale matter as much as model quality. It combines the Lite tier's efficiency profile with stronger long-context, coding, and agent-style performance than earlier Flash-Lite generations.
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is served through Runware's compatible endpoints, which take another provider's request format. Point the SDK you already use at Runware by changing the base URL and the API key, and set model to google:gemini@3.5-flash-lite.
Requests and responses keep the provider's format, so its reference documents every parameter.
