Google this week launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, a new AI model that’s expected to be significantly better at programming than its predecessors. The new model is also said to be four times as fast as its competitors, Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5, and more than twice as fast as Gemini 3.1 Pro.
Google stressed the possibility of using the model as a tool for autonomous AI agents, which could, among other things, help users with planning various projects. To ensure Gemini 3.5 Flash is not used for malicious purposes, Google added a number of new safety mechanisms.
