Google has been cooking for a long while, and they have finally announced the results of that – A whole lot of Gemini, and a bit of everything else.
First up, there’s a new model called Gemini 3.5 Flash that beats over competitors, and it’s own Gemini 3.1 Pro sibling in various benchmark and real-world testing, while being more lightweight and responsive than ever.
Although they showcased comparisons in raw numbers, it’ll be up to live developers and enterprises to deploy and access it to see how much of an improvement Gemini 3.5 Flash could bring, so expect various “reviews” popping up soon.
Meanwhile, Gemini Omni is the “omni” multimodal model that can process text, images, audio, and video together. Touted as capable of “creating anything from any input – starting with video”, AI-generated content ain’t gonna slow down it seems, with Omni making things easier than before.
For agentic AI, Gemini Spark will be leading the charge and become the obvious replacement for OpenClaw (or any “lobster” bots in general), assuming that the user is using it strictly for tasks revolving around the Google ecosystem.
Spark is said to be designed with proactive workflow management in mind, capable of organizing information and performing actions across Google services and third-party apps.
Ah yes, the good old Search. What’s that? Is it also getting AI-fied now?
Seems like it – Google Search will soon have conversational AI responses, dynamic layouts, and contextual understanding powered by Gemini. Instead of mostly serving lists of links, it basically functions like it’s getting a “Gemini plug-in” in practical terms, so whatever you can do in the Gemini interface, you can do it within Search too.
