Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite is Google's lightest model in the Gemini 3.5 generation, with upgraded agent abilities. It is designed for sub-agents that carry out focused tasks inside larger multi-agent systems, where many small calls need to be fast and cheap. It still accepts text, images, video, audio and PDFs over a 1M-token context.

It accepts text, image, file (PDF), audio and video input and returns text, and supports tool calling, structured JSON output and streaming. It always reasons before answering, and you choose how hard it thinks with the reasoning effort setting. Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite is commonly used for sub-agents, classification and routing, extraction, summarisation and other high-volume small tasks. Hormouz serves it behind an OpenAI-compatible API: point your base URL at Hormouz, drop in a Hormouz key, and existing OpenAI SDK code runs without changes.

Pricing is usage-based: $0.3 per million input tokens and $2.5 per million output tokens. There is no fixed monthly fee, and you pay only for the tokens you use. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.

Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite is a high-efficiency model from Google with upgraded agentic capabilities. It is suited for subagents that execute focused tasks within complex, multi-agent workflows.
