Google I/O 2026: Gemini 3.5 Flash is Now GA — Faster Than Frontier, Stronger Than Pro

Gemini 3.5 Flash is generally available today via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Android Studio, and the Antigravity platform. It outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro on coding and agentic benchmarks (Terminal-Bench 2.1: 76.2%, MCP Atlas: 83.6%) while running four times faster than other frontier models. Notable for developers: Android Studio can now migrate React Native or web apps to native Kotlin in hours, and the Build with Gemini XPRIZE Hackathon has a $2M prize pool.
