Gemini Just Got a Completely New Model Family and It Changes Everything
Google announced three major new models at I/O 2026 and each one is a significant step forward.
- Gemini 3.5 Flash: is already rolling out today and it’s four times faster than other frontier models in terms of output tokens per second, beating 3.1 Pro on coding, agentic tasks, and multimodal benchmarks all at once.
- Gemini 3.5 Pro: is currently in testing and drops next month.
- Gemini Omni: a completely new model series that combines reasoning with creation, accepting image, audio, video, and text as input while outputting video grounded in real world knowledge.
On top of all that Google introduced a new AI Ultra tier at $100 per month aimed at developers, creators, and power users, which includes Gemini Spark, a model Google is calling a 24/7 AI agent that monitors, tracks, and acts on your behalf without you having to prompt it manually every time.
Gemini Is Now Everywhere and That’s Not an Exaggeration
This is the part Paul J Lipsky zeros in on that really lands. Gemini 3.5 Flash is rolling out simultaneously across the Gemini app, Google Search, Antigravity 2.0, and the Gemini API all at once.
The message from Google this week is unmistakable: Gemini isn’t a product anymore. It’s the operating system underneath everything Google makes, and after Google I/O 2026 there isn’t a single major Google product that it doesn’t touch.
