What are the verified coding and reasoning benchmarks for Gemini 3.6 Flash?

Gemini 3.6 Flash achieves SWE-bench Verified: 65.2% (Thinking (Low)), LiveCodeBench: 49.5%, AIME: 78%. Verified sources: The Century Run: 100 Sequential Autonomous Agent Tasks (SwarmAgent Research).

Does Swarm isolate Gemini 3.6 Flash code edits from other agents?

Yes. Swarm provisions isolated Git worktrees for every session and subagent, preventing file race conditions and keeping your main working tree clean until verification passes.

Can Gemini 3.6 Flash be assigned to specific subagent roles?

Yes. In ~/.swarm/config.json, you can configure Gemini 3.6 Flash as Primary/Planner (DAG task decomposition), Coder (implementation in isolated worktrees), or Finder (read-only symbol search).

Gemini 3.6 Flash — Specs, Context & Capabilities

Q: What is the recommended Swarm multi-agent topology for Gemini 3.6 Flash?

Swarm recommends Gemini 3.6 Flash as Finder Subagent (Tier 3: High-Throughput Subagent Engine). Default model for fast discovery, multi-file symbol indexing, and rapid linting. Excellent stability across hundreds of continuous agent steps. Best paired with: Claude 3.7 Sonnet or Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Q: How does Swarm isolate Gemini 3.6 Flash during autonomous code generation?

Operates with minimal memory overhead in Swarms Pebble KV daemon (~25MB RSS), enabling low-spec hosts ($0.15/Mo VPS) to run multi-agent routines.

Q: What are developers and practitioners saying about Gemini 3.6 Flash in production?

Default workhorse for fast reconnaissance and agentic search across massive repositories.

Q: How do I run Gemini 3.6 Flash with Swarm?

Configure Gemini 3.6 Flash via CLI using: swarm ctl model set --provider google --model google/gemini-3.6-flash, or switch models interactively inside the terminal TUI with /models.
