Google Ships Gemini 3.5 Flash, an Agentic Assistant Called Spark, and a Do-Everything Model Nobody Fully Understands Yet

Google has announced Gemini 3.5 Flash a faster and more efficient AI model designed to make complex agentic tasks viable at scale, boasting nearly 300 tokens per second while matching the benchmark performance of larger, slower frontier models. Alongside it, Gemini Spark is Google's first dedicated AI agent, running 24/7 in the cloud to autonomously handle tasks across Google's ecosystem — such as monitoring emails, generating summaries, and building slide decks — and will initially be available to AI Ultra subscribers. Google also unveiled Gemini Omni, a new multimodal model intended to eventually handle any type of input and output (text, image, video, audio) from a single unified model, though for now it is launching with video generation only, replacing Veo in Google's products.
