Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash on May 19, 2026, at Google I/O. The Flash-tier model beats Gemini 3.1 Pro on coding and agentic benchmarks (76.2% Terminal-Bench 2.1, 83.6% MCP Atlas, 1656 GDPval-AA Elo) while running 4x faster and costing $1.50/$9 per 1M tokens, 40% below 3.1 Pro. It trails Pro on academic reasoning (Humanity's Last Exam, ARC-AGI-2) and dense long-context recall. It powers Gemini Spark, Antigravity 2.0, and is now the default model for the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search.

At WWDC 2026, Apple unveiled a rebuilt Siri powered by a custom, Apple-tuned Google Gemini model—reportedly a 1.2-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts system costing roughly $1 billion a year. On-device Apple Silicon models handle quick private tasks, while complex reasoning routes to the Gemini model inside Apple's Private Cloud Compute, with a contract barring Google from training on Apple user data.
Gemini 3.5 Flash outperforms the Pro tier on agent benchmarks with superior speed and efficiency.
