Google thinks Gemini 3.5 Flash can finally make AI agents more useful

Google has rolled out its AI model, Gemini 3.5 Flash, across various platforms, claiming it outperforms its predecessor, Gemini 3.1 Pro, in key benchmarks. Gemini 3.5 Flash generates responses four times faster than competing AI systems and is designed for complex workflows and coding tasks. Google plans to introduce Gemini 3.1 Pro next month, which excels in decision-making and coding tests. The model is particularly effective for "long-horizon" tasks, aiding app development and document preparation. Google Antigravity, an agentic development platform, integrates with Gemini 3.5 Flash to manage large workloads. The company also introduced Gemini Spark, a personal AI agent for managing digital tasks, with a beta rollout for select testers. Gemini 3.5 was developed under the Frontier Safety Framework, incorporating enhanced safety measures and interpretability tools.

Codex users have been begging OpenAI for this upgrade — and it’s finally in the works

OpenAI's Codex users have expressed a strong desire for enhanced functionality, particularly remote session control via ChatGPT on mobile devices, which is currently absent. Developers have voiced their frustrations on platforms like GitHub and Reddit, noting that competitors like Anthropic's Claude offer seamless remote access. Recent updates in version 1.2026.125 of the ChatGPT Android app suggest that the remote control feature for Codex is in development, with code indicating users will soon be able to access Codex on their desktops remotely, reconnect to sessions from mobile devices, and receive prompts for updates or restarts. The code also hints at functionalities like creating launcher shortcuts for Codex. While a fully operational preview is not yet available, early indications show that the integration of remote control for Codex is imminent. However, it is noted that an APK teardown provides insights into potential features, but there is no guarantee they will be included in a public release.

80 Copilots later, Microsoft is finally confronting the mess

Researcher Tey Bannerman identified 80 distinct instances of the Copilot brand across Microsoft’s products and services, highlighting potential user confusion due to fragmentation. Examples include Copilot in Dynamics 365 Field Service, Viva Glint, GitHub Copilot Workspace, and Microsoft Fabric. Each Copilot serves different functionalities, but this approach complicates the user experience, as seen with differences between Copilot in Microsoft Word and the general Copilot application in Windows. Microsoft has expressed intentions to streamline Windows 11 and reduce AI features, suggesting opportunities for simplification in its Copilot offerings.
