Gemini 3.5 Flash

not ranked n/a
the take

Google's newest Flash, tuned for agents and, by their own tables, beating last year's Pro. Off the board because they withheld the standard academic evals. The vendor charts look great; I want the neutral ones.

Not ranked: Google DeepMind doesn't publish enough comparable public benchmarks to place it fairly. How ranking works.
