Google launches a cheaper alternative to large AI security models like Mythos

Google has launched three new Gemini AI models within its fast, low-cost Flash tier, prioritizing efficiency over raw power. Among these is Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, a cost-efficient and highly capable alternative to expensive AI security systems like Anthropic's Mythos. This specific model is dedicated to quickly finding and patching security vulnerabilities. These releases expand Google's push into cybersecurity, offering a cheaper alternative to larger models just before Alphabet reports its latest earnings.
