I watched the Google I/O 2026 Developer Keynote, and honestly… the launch of Gemini 3.5 surprised me in more ways than one.
This model is faster AND more powerful than Gemini 1.5 Pro on nearly all benchmarks—including reasoning, coding, and long-running tasks.
What’s impressive is the performance-to-price ratio: it costs less than half the price of comparable models on the market. Ideal for those who want to integrate AI into their products without blowing their API budget.
Gemini 3.5 Flash is already available now on all Google products and APIs. And Gemini 3.5 Pro, even more powerful, is coming in June.
The era of agents has just accelerated.
