  My notes on Gemini 3.5 Flash - 3x the price of Gemini 3 Flash but Google are planning to use it for many of their own products https://simonwillison.net/...

• @lyalindotcom Dmitry Lyalin on x

  Wow. You go Gemini Flash 3.5. (Source: Simon's post) As Simon said.... very Miami vibe and I'm biased and down for it! [image]

• @theo @theo on x

  The cost to performance chart is the most interesting. 3.5 Flash is “more expensive” and “dumber” than gpt-5.5 on medium gpt-5.5-medium: 22m tokens, $1,199, 57 points gemini-3.5-flash: 73m tokens, $1,522, 55 points [image]

• @daniel_mac8 Dan McAteer on x

  gemini 3.5 flash is ~gpt-5.5/~opus 4.7 level yet 33% the cost of gpt-5.5 and 40% the cost of opus we are talking about gemini 3.5 *FLASH* so can we assume that gemini 3.5 *PRO* will be claude mythos level yet significantly less expensive? giddy-up because demis and his [image]

  Gemini 3.5 flash costs 3 times more than the previous version and 30x more than gemini 1.5 flash.

• @theo @theo on x

  Gemini 3.5 Flash is a really interesting release. It's super fast and surprisingly smart. It's also more expensive (3x more per token) and super token hungry. The result - it costs 2x more to run than Gemini 3.1 Pro on similar tasks. It's more expensive than GPT-5.5 Medium. [imag…

  Used the latest 3.5 flash model, it feels like it has been threatened by a system prompt. Always says <I will> — it feels like Bart Simpson writing on chalk board. [image]

• @_simonsmith Simon Smith on x

  Initial experience with Gemini 3.5 Flash: Smart, crazy fast, but quite verbose. Example: I highlighted some text I wrote and asked “does this make sense?” The reply was 568 words and included a legal analysis. Need more time with it, but first impression.

  Following our Gemini 3.5 Flash launch at #GoogleIO, check out this demo of what it can do right inside the Gemini app. Watch 3.5 Flash build an interactive circuit helper, outputting a step-by-step physical build guide alongside a working simulation. It's a great example of how […

  about Gemini 3.5 Flash: “My verdict: at best it's Minimax 2.5~2.7 level and far from the frontier for real-world coding tasks” it's so fucking over bro only OpenAI and Anthropic remain

• @theo @theo on x

  Oh my god it scored worse than Composer 2! Not even 2.5! And it cost 4x more to run!!! This might be the worst major lab model drop of all time. Llama 4 tier. Insane. [image]

  In late 2024/early 2025, releasing an excellent reasoning model in November, followed by a materially better model in February, followed by a fast/cheaper model in May that is roughly as capable as the February model would have been seen as a great achievement and rapid growth in…

• @tenobrus @tenobrus on x

  so far pretty negative impression of 3.5 flash. it is very fast in terms of token output, but this basically doesn't matter because it explodes in a huge avalanche of unnecessary tool calls on basically every task. when it gets stuck on something it seems to pretty much never

  Also had some early access to Gemini 3.5 Flash. Very fast for a flash model and very capable, though not as powerful as a full frontier model. I added it to the gallery or procedurally generated one-shot towns (it made one error that it corrected): https://hg-20f7d1a3ce.netlify.a…

  RL roughly on trend, multimodality on trend, strange to see them report mediocre MRCR and ARC-AGI-2. Given the speed, it might well have fewer active parameters than Flash-3 (so they both shrink the batch and grow margin). Will be a successful model until we get some 5.6-Mini. [i…

  some more Gemini 3.5 Flash benchmarks by Artificial Analysis AI: - the APEX-Agents-AA score is excellent - expected higher on CritPt - reasoning efficiency could also be better, but it kind of depends on what setting they used. if it's the max then it's very good - Price/Perf loo…
