Lovable app AI features get Gemini 3.6 Flash and GPT-5.6 models
By Steven Van ·
Builders can now pick and switch between four new models under Connectors, AI to power their app's AI features.
Lovable widened the menu of models you can build on. New models are now available to power your Lovable app's AI features: Gemini 3.6 Flash and three GPT-5.6 models, all selectable from Connectors, AI.
Models for the app, not just the builder
The nuance worth catching is that these models power the AI features inside the apps you build, not just the Lovable agent that builds them. When you ship a Lovable app that uses AI, summarization, chat, classification, whatever, you now choose from a broader set of underlying models for it. That choice matters: different models have different strengths, speeds, and costs, and the right one depends on what your app's AI feature actually does.
More options, real tradeoffs
Adding Gemini 3.6 Flash brings a fast, cost-efficient option, good for high-volume, latency-sensitive features where you don't need the biggest model. Three GPT-5.6 variants give a range of capability tiers to match to a feature's demands. Having them side by side in Connectors means you can pick, and switch, based on your app's needs rather than being locked to one default. For a builder shipping AI features to real users, that flexibility affects both quality and unit economics.
The model shelf as a feature
Keeping an up-to-date, broad model roster is becoming table stakes for AI platforms, and it lands the same stretch Lovable added Claude Opus 5 to its build agent and shipped app user connectors. The combined direction is clear: Lovable wants to be a place where you can build a real, multi-user app and choose exactly the right model to power each of its AI features, rather than a single-model builder.
Try it
The new models are available now, see them all under Connectors, AI in Lovable. If you have an app with an AI feature, it's worth testing Gemini 3.6 Flash against a GPT-5.6 variant on your actual use case to find the best quality-per-cost fit.
