Image created with Gemini. Image prompt: A flat-scanned 1920s Dada Merz collage on aged board, featuring a torn cream ledger-paper rectangle resembling a crude search bar filled with pasted query fragments and a coffee-stained kraft-paper magnifying glass, surrounded by torn ticket stubs in faded vermilion, muted slate blue, oxidized ochre, and ink black stacked like index-card catalog slips with visible glue stains and buckled edges. The word GOOGLE runs across the top in large mismatched cut-out letterpress characters from different typefaces, each letter glued at a slight angle on the topmost layer, flat even lighting, subtle paper drop shadows, no logos or digital gradients.

Introducing computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash
https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/introducing-computer-use-gemini-3-5-flash/

Gemini 3 Pro was the first model to achieve at least 23% on ARC-AGI-2, which it did in November, 2025 (it actually scored 31%). So the 8-12 month gap between closed and open weights models still seems to hold. But they are also more jagged, better at some tasks, worse at others.”

Interestingly, Google no longer has a public frontier model. They have a very good flash model, but a very good flash model can’t do frontier work without a good frontier orchestrator. I am sure this will change soon, but Gemini 3.1 Pro is very clearly lagging at this point.”

An agentic loop (compile, test, profile, revise) helps. Gemini 3 Pro went from 24 to 35/87 correct, then plateaued after ~20 steps. Feedback fixes syntax, not rank coordination, collective ordering, or transfer-mechanism choice. TMA and NVLS stay almost unused.”

Coding agents are usually just reactive, waiting for us to tell them what to do. Yet the best collaborators don’t wait to be asked. They notice. They anticipate. They surface the thing you needed to know before you even realized you should look. At Google Labs we are rethinking”

It’s kind of crazy how well LiteParse does on markdown document parsing even compared against frontier VLMs – when it doesn’t use VLMs or any AI/OCR models at all. It’s pure code. On ParseBench, it outperforms Qwen 3.5-9B / GLM-OCR. There’s still a gap vs. models like Gemma 4″
