Google Just Dropped the Fastest AI Model Yet

"My deployment pipeline has three stages: works on my machine, works in staging, and 'AI will fix it in production.'"

Hello Builders! 👋

Google just dropped Gemini 3 Flash, and it's actually worth paying attention to. It's Google's play for the speed-obsessed builder crowd.
