Overview
Identity
- Canonical model
- Yesidentity confidence: highOne row per real model release. Artifacts (checkpoints, quantisations, conversions) and folded evaluation variants point here.
- Official checkpoints
- None recorded — closed weightsofficial_checkpoints = hf_repo identifiers carried by the model itself; artifacts are separate entities pointing here through canonical_id.

- API aliases
- gemini-3-6-flashgemini-3.6-flashgoogle/gemini-3.6-flashIdentifiers under which providers and evaluators refer to this model.
- Folded evaluation variants
- 1Effort / thinking variants (…-high, …-non-reasoning) are result configurations of this model, not separate models. Their old URLs redirect here.

Benchmarks22
Compare with another model →Comparable same task and conditions · Partially comparable same task, conditions differ (effort, temperature, judge) · Not comparable different variant or metric
Current rows only, grouped by benchmark → canonical metric → comparability group (task configuration). Effort variants folded into this model appear as rows of the same group. 22 current rows in total. “vs leader” compares with the current leader of the benchmark's primary group only; other groups are not directly comparable.

Data quality (75/100) measures how well AI Atlas knows this entity — completeness, primary-source ratio, freshness, conflicts — never how good the model is. Methodology →
