Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite
The quickest model in the catalog. Plooi uses it for the small things that should feel instant — suggesting a next method, filling an empty sheet, rewriting a line.

What it is
The cheapest and fastest tier Google ships. It answers in a sentence or two and does not linger.
Where Plooi uses it
Anywhere the answer is small and the wait is what you’d notice: the suggestion chips on the canvas, the “surprise me” idea, short rewrites inside a method.
What it is not for
It does not run methods. A method’s value is the structure it produces, and a lite model is measurably worse at holding one — so Plooi routes method runs to a stronger model even though this one is cheaper.
Best for: Method suggestions · Short rewrites · Quick answers
