Google has released Gemini 3.5 Flash, making it generally available across multiple platforms including Google Search, AI Studio, and enterprise solutions. The model features a 1M token context window and supports up to 65K output tokens, but comes with a significant price increase - 3x higher than its predecessor. The release also introduces a new Interactions API for server-side history management, positioning it as a competitor to OpenAI's offerings.
