With Gemini 3.5 Flash, Google bets its next AI wave on agents, not chatbots

Providing that level of AI capability for average consumers comes with scrutiny. Google is currently facing a lawsuit after a man nearly committed a mass casualty event and died by suicide following weeks of chatting with Gemini last year.

The implications for harm only grow when making powerful autonomous agents available more broadly. Google says Gemini 3.5 has strengthened cyber and CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) safeguards and is better calibrated to engage with sensitive questions rather than refuse them outright. 

Gemini 3.5 Flash is available generally today via Antigravity, the Gemini API, and Gemini Enterprise, as well as through the Gemini app and AI mode in Search.
