Gemini 3.5 Flash beats last year's flagship at under half the cost, and this week's Future Bytes News unpacks what that means for every pilot still waiting to become a rollout. Highlights from the world of AI this week: Gemini 3.5 Flash outperforms last generation's flagship at under half the price — the cost-to-deploy calculation just changed.  Google launched a complete agent stack at I/O: desktop orchestration, developer tools, personal assistant, and $190B in infrastructure.  Agent platform lock-in is replacing model lock-in — Google, Anthropic, and Salesforce all shipped agent infrastructure in the same five days.  Anthropic is closing a $30B funding round, making it the most valuable AI startup in the world.  The AI roadmap question shifted this week: not "is it good enough?" but "how much will we save when we move?"  Hosted on Acast.
