Google's New Cyber AI Launches Exclusively For Governments

Google calls Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber a cost-efficient alternative to costly cybersecurity models, built on its existing 3.5 Flash base.

  • Google says it found 55 confirmed V8 bugs vs. 47 by 3.5 Flash, 36 by Claude Opus 4.6.
  • Access rolls out via CodeMender, Google's vulnerability tool, to governments and trusted partners first.
  • The model can be invoked up to five times per report, scanning a 700,000-vulnerability database.

Why it matters: New technology never spreads power evenly, it only decides who is handed the upgrade first.
