Google just unveiled Gemini 3.5 Flash at its annual developer conference, calling it the company’s most powerful coding and agentic AI model to date. The model can autonomously execute complex tasks and build software from scratch.

For the crypto industry, the implications are pointed. Decentralized AI projects have spent the last two years pitching themselves as the open, permissionless alternative to Big Tech’s walled gardens.

What Gemini 3.5 Flash actually does

The model is optimized for three things: coding, reasoning, and what Google calls “agentic workflows.” In English: it can take a high-level instruction, break it into steps, write the code, call external APIs, and execute the whole thing without a human babysitting each stage.

It supports multimodal inputs, meaning it can process text, images, and other data types in a single conversation. The context window stretches to 1 million tokens, which is roughly the equivalent of feeding it an entire codebase or a few hundred pages of documentation and asking it to work with all of it at once.
