1/ Today at #GoogleIO, we’re releasing Gemini 3.5, our latest family of models combining frontier intelligence with action.

We’re starting by releasing 3.5 Flash, which is built to help you execute complex, long-horizon agentic workflows.

Gemini 3.5 Flash is our strongest model for coding and agent http://yet.It outscores 3.1 Pro on agentic and coding benchmarks like Terminal-Bench and MCP Atlas, while running 4x faster than other frontier models.

Used in Google Antigravity, 3.5 Flash is even further optimized to be up to 12x faster. It’s a powerful engine to deploy sub-agents that collaborate, run high-frequency iterative loops, and solve real-world problems at scale.

Some highlights we’re excited about 🔽

2/ Check out how Gemini 3.5 Flash instantly digests dense academic papers and autonomously codes a fully interactive, visual website explaining the intricacies of the research. It's an incredible stress test that seamlessly merges massive long context, deep reasoning, complex coding, and ultra-low latency.

It really helps you distill papers down to their essence and aid your understanding!

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.

5:59 PM · May 19, 2026 · 169.6K Views

Google Antigravity is expanding, including a new standalone desktop app that acts as a central home for agent interaction. We’re also introducing a new Antigravity CLI providing a fast, lightweight way to deploy new agents instantly without a graphical user interface, and a new Antigravity SDK, to give direct access to the same agent harness powering our own products to customize and host agents on your own infrastructure.

With 3.5 Flash in Antigravity, developers can now do so much more. The new Antigravity ecosystem is coming to developers today.

We’re also going further by adding C2PA Content Credentials verification to @GeminiApp alongside Synth ID detection and bringing both to Search and Chrome so you can easily check whether content was captured by a camera, or created/ edited with gen AI tools.

We’re having much more natural conversations with Gemini directly inside many of our products, so we’re bringing this to two more:

Ask YouTube is a new experience for searching for content on YouTube. It gives you information in an easy to navigate layout, with videos best matched to what you’re looking for, and jumps right to the part most relevant to your query.

With voice-powered Docs Live you can brain dump whatever is on your mind, and let Gemini do the rest. Rolling out this summer, and the same voice capability is coming to Gmail and Keep then too.

Narrator: they already fucked up → Gemini 3.5 Flash not available on API. → Fast mode locked to Antigravity only. I don’t understand why companies keep doing this. They invent a portal gun, only to lock it behind a taxi subscription, because they completely fail to realize their very product deprecates that other thing they think will make them money? Cursor is a great example of a company that (sadly) is very likely fail because of that mindset. Composer is actually surprisingly good model. They should put all efforts in serving it. Yet, they keep locking it under an old school product that nobody wants to use. It is 2026. NOBODY should be using IDEs anymore. Get over it. Let it GO. I’m certainly not launching a VSCode fork to use a model, no matter how great it is. And even these who DO use IDEs probably won’t necessarily pick YOUR IDE. And they shouldn’t. You do NOT need them to, to make money. Your model is the product. You keep chasing old business models. Completely out of touch. Meanwhile Anthropic is all charging at full speed to sooner or later surpass Google by just serving great models under an API!!! ~~~ Reposting this. I deleted before because they launched Antigravity CLI, which isn't an API, but at least gives us *some* flexibility. But no: I'm getting 10x slower TPS on CLI compared to the IDE. So either a bug or they really want you to use the visual IDE. So my money will keep going to Anthropic, unfortunately. 🤦‍♂️

Narrator: they already fucked up

→ Gemini 3.5 Flash not available on API.

→ Fast mode locked to Antigravity only.

I don't understand why companies keep doing this.

They invent a portal gun, only to lock it behind a taxi subscription, because they completely fail to realize their very product deprecates that other thing they think will make them money?

Cursor is a great example of a company that (sadly) is very likely fail because of that mindset. Composer is actually surprisingly good model. They should put all efforts in serving it. Yet, they keep locking under a old school product that nobody wants to use.

It is 2026. NOBODY should be using IDEs anymore. Get over it. Let it GO. I'm certainly not launching a VSCode fork to use a model, no matter how great it is.

Your model is the product.

You do NOT need an IDE to make money.

You keep chasing old business models.

Completely out of touch.

Meanwhile Anthropic is all charging at full speed to sooner or later surpass Google by just serving great models under an API!!!

It is not hard. WHY it has to be so hard

The new Gemini 3.5 Flash solved the HVM3's wnf bug in 1/3 attempts. This is my main test to take a model seriously. So far only the big models like GPT 5.5 solved it. And seems like it is 20x faster than Opus 4.6 ! Promising but Google will still find a way to fuck up

Reposting this. I deleted before because they launched Antigravity CLI, which isn't an API, but at least gives us *some* flexibility. But no: I'm getting 10x slower TPS on CLI compared to the IDE. So either a bug or they really want you to use the visual IDE. So my money will keep going to Anthropic, unfortunately. 🤦‍♂️

Deleted again because misinformation 🥲

Gemini 3.5 Flash *is* available on the API. Yet, both the API and the CLI versions are 3x slower than on the IDE! See the video below.

→ Antigravity IDE: 4 seconds (smooth)

→ Antigravity CLI: 15 seconds (buggy)

So the point holds: they want you to use the visual IDE.

Problem is: it is 2026. NOBODY should be using IDEs anymore. Get over it. Let it GO. I’m certainly not launching a VSCode fork to use a model, no matter how great it is.

Flash has been a go-to for builders for its speed + performance + cost - sweet spot - excited for people to build on Gemini 3.5 Flash, even more powerful now!

Jeff DeanJeff Dean@JeffDean

1/ Today at #GoogleIO, we’re releasing Gemini 3.5, our latest family of models combining frontier intelligence with action. We’re starting by releasing 3.5 Flash, which is built to help you execute complex, long-horizon agentic workflows. Gemini 3.5 Flash is our strongest model for coding and agent http://yet.It outscores 3.1 Pro on agentic and coding benchmarks like Terminal-Bench and MCP Atlas, while running 4x faster than other frontier models. Used in Google Antigravity, 3.5 Flash is even further optimized to be up to 12x faster. It’s a powerful engine to deploy sub-agents that collaborate, run high-frequency iterative loops, and solve real-world problems at scale. Some highlights we’re excited about 🔽

4/ Gemini Omni Flash is the other monster announcement.

Google’s framing: “create anything from any input — starting with video.”

Text, images, video, audio as inputs → high-quality generated/edited video grounded in Gemini’s world knowledge.

Alex VolkovAlex Volkov@altryne

3/ The positioning is clear: Flash is no longer just “cheap fast model.” Google wants Gemini 3.5 Flash to be the default engine for long-horizon agents: plan, build, iterate, use tools, execute code, complete real work. Gemini 3.5 Pro comes next month. Can't wait to try Flash

Genuinely impressive release by Google today (remember when they were behind?)

Gemini 3.5 Flash perf: * Building on prior strengths (83.6% of MMMU-Pro for multimodal), * big jump on agentic coding (76.2% on Terminal-Bench for agentic coding and 56.5% on Toolathon for real world tasks) * progress and expert tasks (57.9% on Finance Agent 2... we are cooked) * leading scores across SWE-Bench, OSWorld etc.

(also, elegant to bold the top scores in the chart below even if when it's not Google leading)

Ofc, just benchmarks, and also not cheap (~$9/M output), but Google is cookin'... we are all so spoiled to have the 3 labs compete

Gemini magic everywhere ✨

Sundar PichaiSundar Pichai@sundarpichai

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.

coding with flash is a different experience, it's absurdly fast, it sometimes feels instant. for hard debugging tasks it can explore large areas of the problem space in minutes. it can outperform bigger models on hard tasks by crunching more tokens in less clock time
