This is my third Google I/O in a row. Some things have changed, some (like the amazing colleagues that were there since day 0) haven't. @JeffDean @borgeaud_s
1/ Today at Google I/O, we’re launching Gemini 3.5 Flash ⚡️⚡️⚡️! Our mission was clear: bring frontier-level intelligence with unprecedented speed. 3.5 Flash delivers drastic intelligence (beating 3.1 Pro on almost every benchmark), at Flash speeds. 🧵
2/ What excites me most is 3.5 Flash’s breakthrough performance on complex, multi-step agentic tasks: it excels on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (76.2%), GDPval-AA (1656 Elo) and MCP Atlas (83.6%) 3.5 Flash is built to be the ultra-fast reasoning engine powering your AI agents. The better the model, the better the agent you build on top of it.
3.1 Flash-Lite 🔦 > 2.5 Flash ⚡️ It happened again. Our newest Flash-Lite model outperforms the previous generation's Flash tier. Smarter. Faster. Cheaper. blog.google/innovation-and…
