Gemini 3.5 Flash and Pro debuted at Google I/O with upgrades aimed at professional use, including faster performance, better instruction-following and more polished creative results.
Flash is positioned as the lower-cost, speed-focused option, while Pro—internally called Cappuccino—targets higher-end creative and technical work such as UI design, coding and digital media.
Testing examples highlighted game-environment generation, ASCII art and MacOS-style UI builds, with the models touted as stronger on spatial consistency, cleaner layouts and code generation.
The rollout still leaves gaps: reports cited occasional instruction inconsistencies, variable output quality and a tendency to overbuild interfaces even when prompts ask for minimal designs.
Google is also running extensive testing on platforms including Alamarina and AI battle environments, suggesting the Gemini 3.5 line is still being refined as competition in advanced AI models intensifies.
Gemini 3.5 promises superior code, but can it solve the hidden security risks of AI-generated software?
