Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite
The previous fast tier, still supported. Slightly cheaper than its successor and a sensible pin if you are running high volumes of short calls.

What it is
The 3.1 generation’s lite tier. Superseded by 3.5 Flash-Lite but still generally available and marginally cheaper per token.
When to pick it
Only deliberately — if you are making a lot of very small calls and the difference adds up. For everything else the newer lite tier is the better default.
Best for: High-volume short calls · Cost-sensitive drafting
