Google launched on Tuesday Gemini 3.5 Flash, a new AI model that the company says is its strongest yet for coding and autonomous AI agents. The model, which was introduced at the company’s annual I/O developer conference, can independently execute coding pipelines, manage research projects, and, in internal tests, build an operating system entirely from scratch.
The release signals Google’s shift from pitching AI as a conversational tool to AI as an agentic tool. It’s not just answering questions, but planning, building, and iterating on real work with minimal human input.
