"Alphabet Inc.'s Google is rolling out a more efficient and affordable version of its most powerful artificial intelligence model across its products, building on the company's momentum after the successful launch of Gemini 3. Google on Wednesday announced the release of Gemini 3 Flash, a lower-cost version of its flagship model that's designed to help users field more complex queries more quickly. The new model will replace 2.5 Flash in the Gemini app and also become the default system powering AI mode in Google Search."
"Last month, Google introduced Gemini 3 Pro to rave reviews, reasserting its leadership in the AI race. Since then, OpenAI has declared a code red and pushed out a new version of its flagship GPT-5 model as well as an updated image generation model to keep pace with Google's AI offerings. A few weeks ago we released Pro, and we are excited about the reception, said Tulsee Doshi, a senior director of product management for Gemini at Google DeepMind."
