We've been busy! Here’s a rundown of the top announcements, launches and demos at I/O 2026.
This week at Google I/O 2026, we unveiled new models, agents and tools to help you build, search, create, discover, shop and get more done. You can dig into our I/O announcements — including an edited transcript of Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s remarks from the stage. And for a TL;DR (of sorts), keep scrolling for our annual list of 100 highlights from the event.
Create and build with our most advanced models
-
We launched Gemini 3.5 Flash : the first in our latest series of models combining frontier intelligence with action.
-
Gemini 3.5 Flash is generally available today via our agent-first development platform Google Antigravity the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Android Studio .
-
Gemini 3.5 Flash delivers intelligence that rivals large flagship models at speeds you expect from the Flash series. It outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro on challenging coding and agentic benchmarks like Terminal-Bench 2.1 (76.2%), GDPval-AA (1656 Elo) and MCP Atlas (83.6%).
-
Landing in the top-right quadrant of the Artificial Analysis index, 3.5 Flash delivers frontier-level intelligence at exceptional speed — proving you no longer have to trade quality for latency.
-
Gemini 3.5 Flash is ideal for tackling long-horizon agentic tasks. What used to take a developer days or an auditor weeks, 3.5 Flash can now help complete in a fraction of the time, often at less than half the cost of other frontier models. It rapidly plans, builds and iterates to solve real-world problems, whether it’s developing new applications, maintaining codebases or helping to prepare financial documents. Building on the strong multimodal foundation of Gemini 3, 3.5 Flash generates richer, more interactive web UIs and graphics.
