May 22, 2026 · Google quietly dropped Gemini 3.5 this Monday. Here's what shifted.
3.5 Flash went GA on May 19. 3.5 Pro coming next month.
What's new:
· Trained for "frontier intelligence with action" — agentic workloads, not just chat
· Now the default model for Gemini app and AI Mode in Google Search
· Available via Google Antigravity (agent-first dev platform), Gemini API in AI Studio, Vertex, Gemini Enterprise
The interesting product move is Gemini Spark:
A personal agent running 24/7 on 3.5 Flash, taking action on your behalf. Trusted testers now, Beta for Google AI Ultra US subscribers next week.
Read it alongside the rest of May:
· OpenAI (May 8): doubled down on voice — 3 realtime models, Zillow case study from 69% → 95% call success
· Google (May 19): doubled down on agents — Gemini 3.5 Flash + Spark
· Anthropic (April): doubled down on coding — Claude Opus 4.7 ($5/$25, cut 67%)
Three frontiers, three different bets.
Text token pricing has bottomed out. The new margin sits at the product layer — voice flows, agent loops, coding pipelines. Pure token resale will compress fast in the next 6 months.
🤔 Where are you betting your stack — voice, agent, or code?
