Google this week launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, a new AI model that’s expected to be significantly better at programming than its predecessors. The new model is also said to be four times as fast as its competitors, Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5, and more than twice as fast as Gemini 3.1 Pro.
Google stressed the possibility of using the model as a tool for autonomous AI agents, which could, among other things, help users with planning various projects. To ensure Gemini 3.5 Flash is not used for malicious purposes, Google added a number of new safety mechanisms.
The new model is available via the Gemini app, Gemini API, Gemini Enterprise, Google AI Search, and Antigravity. And professional users, will soon have access to Gemini 3.5 Flash Pro, according to TechCrunch.

Google will soon unleash a wealth of new artificial intelligence-powered tools and systems, including an AI assistant that will help users by proactively performing tasks on their behalf.
AI agents can quickly become expensive without a clear strategy for planning, skill coverage, and budgets. This article shows how to use operations research and data science to optimize AI agent cost and resource allocation. You will learn how to frame common agent problems—skill coverage, project assignment, and budgeting—as set covering, assignment, and knapsack optimization models in Python using Gurobi.

Google announced a new YouTube Shorts Remix feature that lets users restyle clips or even insert themselves into other people's videos using Gemini Omni. Now, at the bottom of a YouTube Short, when you click the remix icon, you'll see an option to "reimagine" it. Here, you can prompt Gemini to turn a video into pixel art, an anime, or a found-footage horror film. But, beyond that, you can also alter the contents by, say, inflating heads, inserting background actors, dressing people in pirate costumes, or even putting yourself in the clip.
Creators can enable or disable the ability to reimagine videos. So, if you upload a short of your kids …
