The old meaning of “Flash” was simple: cheap, fast, good enough, and slightly disposable. Gemini 3.5 Flash breaks that mental model. This is not a bargain-bin chatbot with a racing stripe. It is Google’s attempt to turn the Flash tier into an agent engine, the kind of model you point at a terminal, a workflow, … Read more
