Gemini 3.5 Flash costs more to run while being less Intelligent than 3.1 Pro
I'm surprised

apnews.comDemis Hassabis at Google I/O: "Artificial General Intelligence is just a few years away"
Demis’ timeline on AGI has been shrinking and shrinking lately. I believe he would consistently say 5-10 years away the past year or 2. Then he switched to saying only 5 years in an interview this year I believe, and now he just said “just a few years”.
He also had another cool quote at the end: “When we look back at this time I think we will realize that we were standing in the foothills of the singularity”
Demis has been notoriously conservative, so when he says this, he must be pretty confident it’s coming soon.

Gemini Omni model is out!
I made 4 videos and already hit the limit. The results honestly aren’t any better than VEO 3.1, and now my entire 5-hour usage window is gone 🙂. I can’t even use Gemini 3 Flash or 3.1 Pro anymore, even though I’m on the Pro plan.
Gemini 3.5 flash costs 3 times more than the previous version and 30x more than gemini 1.5 flash.

Gemini flash costs almost as much as flagship models..... If gemini 3.5 pro scales like that it'll cost more than claude opus 3.
Gemini flash is expensive!
This new gemini flash is not cheap to use! Maybe a big but fast model?

Gemini 3.5 Flash looks worse than it seems on Artificial Analysis
Looking at Artificial Analysis, Gemini 3.5 Flash seems to compare strangely against Gemini 3.1 Pro.
Numbers from Artificial Analysis:
Gemini 3.1 Pro
- Intelligence score: 57
- Cost: $892
- Pricing: $2 / $12 per 1M input/output tokens
Gemini 3.5 Flash
- Intelligence score: 55
- Cost: $1,552
- Pricing: $1.50 / $9 per 1M input/output tokens
So Gemini 3.5 Flash scores slightly lower than Gemini 3.1 Pro, 55 vs 57, but costs more in their benchmark, $1,552 vs $892.
The per-token API price is lower than Pro, but the total benchmark cost ends up higher.

I suspect the strength of Omni will be in its ability to edit videos - supercut of examples from twitter
Google AI posted a thread of community Gemini Omni / Omni Flash demos, so I got codex to make me a supercut.
