Google recently released its newest AI version: Gemini 3.5. Gemini 3 already excelled in advanced reasoning and agentic workflows, but the newest version builds on the success and introduces new features. It outperforms previous Gemini versions and other popular AI platforms, making it a great option for both personal and professional use.
What’s New with Gemini 3.5?
Gemini 3.5 Flash is now the default model on Gemini and AI Mode. It offers advanced capabilities from the previous version while remaining fast and user-friendly.
Intelligence with Exceptional Speed
Many AI models focus on intelligence or speed, but with Gemini 3.5, you don’t have to choose. 3.5 Flash lands in the top-right quadrant on a chart of Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index vs. Output Speed, making it faster than other models without losing accuracy.
Scaling Agentic Tasks
Since this new model excels at both speed and performance, it’s great at handling long-horizon agentic tasks. Tasks that would normally take days for a developer can now be achieved in a fraction of the time with Gemini 3.5 Flash. It usually performs at half the cost of other frontier models too.
The AI can be used to rapidly plan, build, and solve, which comes in handy for developing applications, preparing financial documents, and maintaining code. It’s capable of executing multi-step workflows and coding tasks with impressive speed and performance.
Richer Graphics
Gemini 3.5 Flash is capable of generating richer, more interactive graphics than previous models. This can include animations for research papers, UX graphics for brands, and interactive hardware for everyday learning.
Gemini 3.5 Compared to Other Models
To confirm Gemini 3.5’s success, a model evaluation compared it to other AI models in various areas. Gemini 3.5 Flash outperformed Gemini 3 Flash and Gemini 3.1 Pro in nearly every area. It also outperformed Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.7, and GPT-5.5 in a few key areas, including real-world general tool use, financial analysis, information synthesis, and multimodal understanding/reasoning.
