100-word summary
Google just launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, a model designed to spawn subagents that tackle tasks requiring weeks of back-and-forth. Banks are already using it to automate onboarding document analysis and multi-step data workflows that previously needed human supervision at every turn. The model outperforms its predecessor on coding and reasoning benchmarks while running faster. It's available now through the Gemini app and API, with a more powerful Pro version coming next month. Google built in safety checks that surface the model's internal reasoning, though high-stakes decisions still need human oversight. The pitch: AI that plans and executes complex projects, not just answers questions.
