Should I use this for coding agents

Use 3.6 Flash when you specifically want this checkpoint. Official DeepSWE mini-swe-agent at high: 47% ±4: the same 13 Aug family note already published on the 3.7 Flash hub line. AA 52. vals 55.35% ±1.09 is a different harness.

When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • Need the current Flash flagship. Gemini 3.7 Flash is newer (DeepSWE 49% ±3, OR $0.25 / $1.25). Do not copy either invoice or DeepSWE row onto the other.
  • Need a Pro. Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview is the live Pro sibling on this cluster.
  • Need hosted Continuum inference. Hosted Google is gemini-3.5-flash and gemma-4-31b-it:free, not 3.6.

Plus is $25/mo with $25 weekly hosted usage. The Mac app stays free with your own keys. Get Plus is not Download for Mac.

Economics

No DeepSWE $/task printed on the 13 Aug family note we cite for the 47% ±4 row.

OpenRouter + AA, 19 Aug 2026: $0.75 / $3.75 per million. Google lists 3.7 Flash on the same $0.75 / $3.75 through 31 December 2026, so there is no separate 3.7 figure to confuse this with.

FAQ

Is this cheaper than 3.7 Flash?

No. OR 19 Aug prices 3.6 at $0.75 / $3.75 and 3.7 at $0.25 / $1.25.

Why DeepSWE 47 and not 49?

47% ±4 is 3.6 Flash at high. 49% ±3 is 3.7 Flash. Same official board, different SKUs.

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.
