Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash Dominates Benchmarks, Boosts Coding
Genuinely impressive release by Google today (remember when they were behind?) Gemini 3.5 Flash perf: * Building on prior strengths (83.6% of MMMU-Pro for multimodal), * big jump on agentic coding (76.2% on Terminal-Bench for agentic coding and 56.5% on Toolathon for real world tasks) * progress and expert tasks (57.9% on Finance Agent 2... we are cooked) * leading scores across SWE-Bench, OSWorld etc. (also, elegant to bold the top scores in the chart below even if when it's not Google leading) Ofc, just benchmarks, and also not cheap (~$9/M output), but Google is cookin'... we are all so spoiled to have the 3 labs compete
