Google made Gemini 3.5 Flash generally available, claiming frontier intelligence at roughly 4x the speed of comparable models, priced at $1.50/$9 per 1M tokens with a 1M-token context window. It posts 76.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, 1656 Elo on GDPval-AA, and 83.6% on MCP Atlas, reportedly beating the larger Gemini 3.1 Pro on coding and agentic tasks. A notable cost/speed shift for builders running agent workloads.
