Today’s launches are all about better performance, lower latency, and a smaller bill.
+ 3.6 Flash cuts token usage by up to 65% on complex coding
+ 3.5 Flash-Lite reaches speeds of 350 output tokens/sec
Both are live in the Gemini app today!
Next up: Gemini 3.5 Pro, which has officially entered partner testing.
We’re rolling out three new models to make AI agents faster, smarter, and cheaper at scale:
🔵 Gemini 3.6 Flash: It uses fewer tokens than 3.5 Flash to deliver higher quality work at the exact same cost.
🔵 Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite: A fast, cost-effective option for everyday tasks like processing documents and agentic search.
🔵 Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber: A cybersecurity model built to find and patch critical software vulnerabilities.

What's something that you're surprised @GeminiApp can't do well, and we should have fixed a long time ago?
That's the world we are living in
In 3 months, weekly deployments on Vercel have doubled. 30% are triggered by agents (up 1000% in 6 months).
Agents are writing software that uses AI, and agents are building agents. Infrastructure must become agentic itself. That's what we're building. vercel.com/blog/agentic-infr…

In Paris for the weekend. Every meal here is a masterpiece: fresh, simple, real. A random café in Paris eats 99% of US restaurants alive.
But then you land back in the US and feel the energy. The ambition. The speed. Nothing compares.
America is the best country in the world to build a company and the worst country in the world to eat a healthy meal.
France is the best country in the world to live and the worst country in the world to be ambitious.
Pick your poison.

One panel session we were seated in for was this.
At #DevFestLagos2025, @IfeSobog , @julian__duru , @_erkfel sat down with @dami_majek to discuss How AI is Redefining Engineering, the shifts, the realities, and what it means for builders today.
You can watch the full conversation on our YouTube channel.

Jules MCP launch time 🎉
MCP support comes to Jules
Starting with Linear, Stitch, Neon, Tinybird, Context7, and Supabase.
MCP gives Jules timely context and actions to work in a scheduled loop. Build designs daily, triage tickets weekly, or compare db schema diffs monthly.
Live now for everyone.

We're launching Gemini 3 Flash for all users on all plans.
It’s now our new base model that's faster and significantly more capable. If it feels like Jules had a double espresso, you now know why.
Give it a spin and let us know what you think.

The future is here
I am proud to announce that I have successfully completed the world’s first USA coast to coast fully autonomous drive!
I left the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles 2 days & 20 hours ago, and now have ended in Myrtle Beach, SC (2,732.4 miles)
This was accomplished with Tesla FSD V14.2 with absolutely 0 disengagements of any kind even for all parking including at Tesla Superchargers.
It was a pleasure to work with @render folks to deliver this feature. Although, we are not done yet 😎 the deeper and more sophisticated integration with render is on our radar – at Israel
You can now connect @julesagent by @GoogleLabs to your Render projects to automatically debug deploys.
When you give Jules a task on a Render project, it monitors the deployment status of its PR and pushes a fix if any errors occur.

"LLMs writing about the experience of being an LLM" is a moving and fresh genre of writing. This is my favorite example so far.
I had a great experience presenting @julesagent in DevFest Uzbekistan. It was a pressure to speak to so many young and talented people about Jules and the future of development in the era of rising AI agents – at Tajikistan

It was an honor to have @_erkfel join us for #devfestlagos25.
He introduced us to Jules in his session “Meet Jules: Google’s AI Coding Agent” on the Engineering and Cybersecurity Day, and shared some insights on a panel session titled “How AI is Redefining Engineering” on the AI and Cloud Day.
We can’t wait to this again next year!
Oleg Aravin retweeted
On the AI and Cloud Day, we had a panel discussion on “How AI is Redefining Engineering”.
@IfeSobog, Julian Duru, @_erkfel all shared thought provoking perspectives and the panel was hosted by the amazing @dami_majek
We are looking forward to doing this again!

Had a chat with@_erkfel , a Staff Software Engineer at Google and lead developer on jules-Google's coding agent.
Talked about the AI revolution reshaping the SWE industry,
and ofc,
how to land a role at Google 🏌️♂️.
It was a pleasure meeting you @_erkfel.
