New Gemini Flash model arrives before Gemini 3.5 Pro

Google has upended its own product roadmap, releasing a faster, cheaper AI model before rolling out the next generation of its flagship Gemini offering—a puzzling move that suggests the company may be prioritizing speed-to-market over the traditional staged launch strategy that has defined the AI race. The Flash model, designed for real-time applications and lower-cost inference, arrives in a landscape increasingly crowded with competitive alternatives, raising questions about whether Google is fracturing its narrative momentum just as rivals like OpenAI consolidate their positioning. Industry observers are parsing whether this signals a fundamental shift in how Google approaches model deployment or simply a response to unexpected market pressures.

TL;DR: llama.cpp with --load-mode mmap used 21-32 GB of RAM, with ik_llama.cpp using 106-108 GB. -sm tensor killed my prefill, changing to -sm layer went from 36 tps to 135 tps. After that, -ubatch...
