Google<\/span><\/span><\/span> is rolling out its latest version of Gemini and a new artificial intelligence model designed to simulate the physical world, as the search giant races to keep pace in model development while also providing more agentic services to its massive user base. <\/p>\n

In a news briefing with reporters ahead of Tuesday’s event, Pichai said Gemini 3.5 Flash is “remarkably fast.” The company said 3.5 Flash will now be the default model for the Gemini app and AI mode in search globally.<\/p>\n

“You no longer have to trade quality for latency,” Google said in a blog post.\u00a0The company said that it’s strengthened the cybersecurity defenses for Gemini 3.5 Flash, so it’s “less likely to generate harmful content and mistakenly refuse to answer safe queries.”<\/p>\n

Google said Gemini 3.5 Pro, its heavier-weight version, is being used internally, but won’t be ready for wider distribution until next month. <\/p>\n

On the agentic AI front, Google announced Gemini Spark, a new general purpose AI agent in the Gemini app that can reason across information in connected apps. Google said it wants to help users navigate their digital lives by taking “action on your behalf while under your direction.”\u00a0Gemini…<\/p>\n
