Three model options in AI-School have been updated. Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite and Claude Opus 5 are now available and replace their direct predecessors.

Gemini 3.6 Flash replaces Gemini 3.5 Flash. It is a strong choice for everyday teaching tasks where speed and quality come together: preparing research, creating explanations, developing teaching materials, providing feedback and working with documents or images. The model offers a good balance of speed, intelligence and cost efficiency.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite replaces Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. Choose this model when you perform many short, practical tasks and want to keep costs low. Examples include a brief explanation at different levels, translations, initial feedback on a student text or simple questions about an image. It is the fastest and most cost-effective option of the three.

Claude Opus 5 replaces Claude Opus 4.8 as the top model. This model is suited to tasks that require extra care and depth, such as complex research questions, detailed feedback, analysis of long documents, coding or important writing assignments. The model prioritizes quality and is therefore particularly suitable when an answer can cost more and there is less time pressure.

All three models support image input, reasoning and tools. This means you can also include images in a prompt and, where available, enable tools. Choose the model that fits the task: Flash-Lite for many fast tasks, Flash for a versatile balance and Opus 5 for the most complex assignments.

The updated models are now available in AI-School when selecting a language model.
