What

Moves the OpenUI Cloud starter template and the example app to Gemini 3.6 Flash as the default model.

Template (packages/openui-cli/src/templates/openui-cloud)

  • DEFAULT_MODELgoogle/gemini-3.6-flash-free
  • Adds Gemini 3.6 Flash (free + standard) to the curated model-switcher list
  • Updates the OPENUI_MODEL example in the README

Example (examples/openui-cloud)

  • OPENUI_MODEL fallback anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6google/gemini-3.6-flash-free
  • Updates the README default column

Why

Gemini 3.6 Flash is now available on OpenUI Cloud and is a faster, higher-quality default than the previous defaults for the starter experience.

Verification

  • google/gemini-3.6-flash-free and google/gemini-3.6-flash both resolve and respond on the hosted Responses API.
  • Scaffolded the template fresh, left OPENUI_MODEL unset, and ran it: the UI defaults to Gemini 3.6 Flash (Free) and renders real components end-to-end (card + button, stat card) over the streaming path, with conversation persistence working.
  • The previous defaults still resolve — no regression.

Note: the CLI Template Package Manager Parity check is currently red on main as well (unrelated npm/pnpm patch drift of openai / @radix-ui/react-tooltip); not introduced by this PR.

Set DEFAULT_MODEL to google/gemini-3.6-flash-free, add the 3.6 Flash
(free + standard) options to the curated model switcher list, and update
the OPENUI_MODEL example in the README to match the new default.

Match the CLI template: set the example's OPENUI_MODEL fallback to
google/gemini-3.6-flash-free and update the README default column.
