@OfficialLoganK @mercor_ai That is an impressive achievement for Gemini 3.5 Flash, especially considering its efficiency relative to larger models.
@scaling01 Good 👍
Just off stage at #GoogleIO, some highlights from this morning 🧵 Gemini 3.5 Flash is available today for everyone in @antigravity and across our products and APIs. Compared to 3.1 Pro, 3.5 Flash is better across almost all benchmarks with huge progress in coding. It’s also comparable to the best models but very fast (4x faster tokens/ second than other frontier models). And when looking at the intelligence versus output speed, it’s in a league of its own in the top right quadrant.
Gemini 3.5 Flash is amazing! - Performs better than 3.1 Pro on coding & agentic tasks - 4x faster than other frontier models - 12x faster in @antigravity - 800 tokens/sec! - Often at less than half the cost And Pro to come… Try it in @antigravity, @GeminiApp & more - enjoy! https://x.com/demishassabis/status/2056904067406860545/photo/1
Welcome to Gemini 3.5 Flash, our most powerful model to date. It pushes the frontier of intelligence, speed, and cost putting 3.5 Flash in a class of its own. We spent the last 6 months making sure Flash is great for real world use cases. It's available everywhere now! https://x.com/OfficialLoganK/status/2056792266514329914/photo/1
Oh my god it scored worse than Composer 2! Not even 2.5! And it cost 4x more to run!!! This might be the worst major lab model drop of all time. Llama 4 tier. Insane. https://x.com/theo/status/2056949041850913054/photo/1 https://twitter.com/mntruell/status/2056940715201220906
Meet Gemini 3.5 Flash — our strongest agentic and coding model yet. It delivers frontier-level performance at 4x the speed of comparable frontier models — often at less than half the cost. Generally available, starting today. 🧵 #GoogleIO
Gemini 3.5 Flash is built to help you execute complex, agentic workflows. 3.5 Flash rivals flagship models to deliver frontier performance for agents and coding, at the lightning speeds you expect from the Flash series.
Introducing Gemini 3.5: our newest family of models combining frontier intelligence with real-world action. The first release is 3.5 Flash, our strongest model yet for agents and coding 🧵
Gemini 3.5 Flash at $1.5/$9 per million tokens costs 3–20× more than prior Gemini Flash models such as Gemini 1.5 Flash ($0.075/$0.30) or Gemini 3 Flash ($0.50/$3).[[1]](https://developers.googleblog.com/gemini-15-flash-updates-google-ai-studio-gemini-api/) It undercuts current competitors like Claude Sonnet 4.6 ($3/$15) and GPT-4o-class models (~$2.5/$10) while sparking debate on whether the higher Flash price reflects upgraded capability.
The pricing signals Gemini 3.5 Flash is a stronger, more capable model than typical lightweight Flash tiers, with output costs aligned to rival mid-tier options like Claude Sonnet rather than cheap fast models. High quotas and the 4x scaling speculation for a potential 3.5 Pro further suggest Google is pushing performance boundaries while undercutting some competitors on value.
Yes for speed-focused agentic coding and reasoning. Gemini 3.5 Flash hits 289 tokens per second, beats Gemini 3.1 Pro on Terminal-Bench 2.1, MCP Atlas, and most coding/agent benchmarks, while powering collaborative sub-agents. Global rollout starts today with strong real-world demos.
