GEMINI 3.5 FLASH: MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT GOOGLE PLANS TO USE IT FOR EVERYTHING

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash at Google I/O, skipping the preview and going straight to general availability. It mostly has the same set of platform features as the previous Gemini 3.x series, but without computer use. The model's knowledge cut-off is January 2025, and it supports 1,048,576 input tokens and 65,536 maximum output tokens. Gemini 3.5 Flash is accompanied by a notable price bump.
