"Google launched on Tuesday Gemini 3.5 Flash, a new AI model that the company says is its strongest yet for coding and autonomous AI agents. The model, which was introduced at the company's annual I/O developer conference, can independently execute coding pipelines, manage research projects, and, in internal tests, build an operating system entirely from scratch."
"The release signals Google's shift from pitching AI as a conversational tool to AI as an agentic tool. It's not just answering questions, but planning, building, and iterating on real work with minimal human input. "3.5 Flash offers an incredible combination of quality and low latency," Koray Kavukcuoglu, DeepMind's chief technologist, told reporters on Monday ahead of the public launch."
"He added that it is four times faster than other frontier models, a speed that's ideal for coding and agentic tasks, but that Google has "taken it to another level" by developing an optimized version of Flash that's 12 times faster with the same quality. That speed is central to Flash's design for agentic work, where multiple AI agents run at the same time on long-running tasks, according to Kavukcuoglu."
"Kavukcuoglu said Flash 3.5 was co-developed with Antigravity so that agents could have a "native environment where they can live, work, and execute." At I/O, Google released Antigravity 2.0, a standalone desktop application designed around agent-first development. The gains are showing up beyond demos. Google says 3.5 Flash's agentic capabilities are already creating impact among partners, like banks and fint"
Google launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, positioned as its strongest model for coding and autonomous AI agents. The model can independently execute coding pipelines, manage research projects, and, in internal tests, build an operating system from scratch. The release reflects a shift from conversational AI toward agentic AI that plans, builds, and iterates on real work with minimal human involvement. DeepMind’s chief technologist said it combines quality with low latency, outperforms a newer frontier model on benchmarks, and is significantly faster. Google also introduced Antigravity 2.0, a desktop application for agent-first development, and described agents running in parallel to assemble complex outputs such as an operating system.
