At last year's I/O event, Google was still talking about the 2.5 branch of Gemini, and what a difference a year makes. We've gone through the 3.0 and 3.1 families since then, and now it's on to version 3.5. Gemini 3.5 Flash is rolling out across a wide range of Google products starting today, and Google again claims this model is even better than its last-gen Pro model.
That has been a trend with Google's tick-tock model updates over the past year, but the team says this release is special. Gemini 3.5 Flash allegedly offers frontier-level intelligence while also being efficient enough that it may finally make complex agentic tasks worth doing at scale. Tulsee Doshi, senior director of product management for Gemini, explains that the innovations of Gemini 3.5 Flash are woven through multiple Google products, and this is just the start.
