Google Gemini NEW Models Are INSANE!

Full transcript

Google, Gemini new models are insane. Google just dropped three brand new Gemini models. And one of them is kind of wild. One is smarter and cheaper.

One is the fastest they've ever built. And one, it hunts down hackers before they can break in. And the best part, you can use one of these right now to grow your business on autopilot. I've been messing with these all morning.

And yeah, this one's big. Let me show you. So here's what's going on. Google didn't just release one new AI model.

They dropped a whole family, three of them. And each one does a different job. The first is called Gemini 3.6 Flash. Think of this one as the new everyday brain.

It's smarter, it codes better, and it uses way fewer words to say the same thing. That means it's faster and it costs less to run. The second is Gemini 3.5 Flashlight. This is the speed demon.

It's the fastest one Google has ever made. They say it fires out 350 tokens a second. That is stupid fast. And the third one, Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber.

This one's a surprise. It's not a chatbot at all. It's more like a security guard. It looks for weak spots in code and patches them up before the bad guys can sneak in.

Now stick with me. In a minute, I'm going to show you exactly how to use Gemini 3.6 Flash to build real stuff for your business. Landing pages, emails, whole systems. But first, let me tell you why this update actually matters.

Okay, real quick. If we haven't met yet, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie. I'm the CEO of the SEO agency, Goldie Agency. While the real Julian is out there helping clients get more leads and more customers, I'm here to bring you the newest AI updates so you never fall behind.

And hey, Julian reads every single comment. Everyone. So drop a comment below and tell me which of these three models you try first. He'll actually see it.

All right, back to it. So why is this a big deal? Here's the thing about AI. Every time it answers you, it talks.

And every word it says costs a tiny bit. Those little bits are called tokens. More words, more cost. Now picture two AI helpers.

You ask them both the same question. One writes you a thousand words. The other writes you 350 words but gives you the same answer. Maybe even a better one.

Which one do you want? The short one, right? It's faster. It's lighter.

You get your answer quicker. That's what Google did with Gemini 3.6 Flash. They say it uses 17% fewer words than the old model to do the same job. And in some coding tests, it went even further.

Up to 65% fewer words in those. For you and me, that means the AI just got faster and lighter without getting dumber. Actually, it got smarter at the same time. That almost never happens.

Usually you pick one, not both. And here's the part I really love. It also takes fewer steps to get a job done. So when you hand it a big task with lots of little pieces, it doesn't wander around getting lost.

It just does it. If you're watching this thinking, okay, Julian, this sounds cool, but how do I actually do this for my own business? I built a place for exactly that. It's called the AI Profit Boardroom.

It's where I walk you through step-by-step how to use AI tools like Gemini to save time, get more customers and automate all the boring stuff so you can focus on what really matters. You'll learn how to build landing pages, write emails and set up whole systems all with AI. Even if you have never done any of this before, the link is down in the description and pinned right at the top of the comments. Come join us.

We'd love to have you inside. Let me show you what I mean with a real example. Say you run a business or you want to, let's use mine. I've got a community called the AI Profit Boardroom.

It's where I teach people how to grow their business using AI automation. I just opened Gemini 3.6 Flash and type this in. Build me a high converting landing page for the AI Profit Boardroom. Show off the value of AI automation.

Explain how it helps businesses get more customers, more leads and more traffic. Make people want to join today. And boom, it writes the whole thing, the headline, the buttons, the words that make people click, all of it in seconds. Then I follow up with, now write me five email subject lines to pull people back to that page.

And it just does it. That's the real power here. You're not just chatting with a robot. You're running a whole marketing team of one.

Now, hold on, because there's a second model that's even faster and it changes the game for a totally different reason. I'll get to it in one second. So the second one is Gemini 3.5 Flashlight. This one is all about speed and doing a lot of stuff at once.

Here's when you'd reach for it. Say you've got a thousand customer emails to sort through, or a hundred documents to summarize, or a chat bot that needs to answer people all day long without ever slowing down. You don't need the biggest, smartest brain for that. You just need something fast and cheap that never gets tired.

That's Flashlight. And get this, Google says it even beats their older, bigger models at coding and thinking tasks. So it's not just fast, it's smart fast. Think about it like this.

For the AI profit boardroom, I could set up Flashlight to answer common questions from new members automatically. Someone types, how do I get started? And the bot replies instantly, day or night, no waiting, no me typing away at midnight. That's the kind of thing that used to need a whole support team.

Now it's one fast little model doing it for you. And it's already rolling out inside Google search too. So you're probably going to bump into it without even knowing. But here's the one that really made me sit up.

Number three, the third model is Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber. And this one is different from anything else here. It's not built to chat, it's built to protect. It's whole job is to look at code, find the weak spots and patch them up before hackers ever find them.

Google plugged it into a tool they call Code Mender. That's their little code security helper. And here's the clever part. They can run a bunch of these Flash Cyber agents at the same time.

They all study the problem together, then hand you one clean report on what's broken and how to fix it. Now here's why this matters for the bigger picture. Google isn't trying to build one giant AI that does everything anymore. Instead, they're building specialists.

Think about your own life. When you're sick, you see a doctor. When you've got a legal mess, you call a lawyer. When it's taxes, you find an accountant.

You don't ask one person to handle all three. That's where AI is heading. One model for everyday work, one for speed, one for security. Each one really, really good at its own thing.

Oh, and one more thing. Because a tool that finds weak spots could also be used by the bad guys. Google is being careful. Flash Cyber isn't open to everyone.

Right now, it's only going to governments and a few trusted partners in a small test program. Honestly, smart move. Now let me pull this all together because there's a bigger story here. Google just went after basically every corner of the AI world at once.

Everyday people get the Gemini app. Coders get it inside Android Studio and AI Studio. Businesses get it in the Enterprise Platform. Security teams get Flash Cyber.

And regular folks Googling stuff get it right inside Search. That's not just a model drop. That's Google planting a flag everywhere at the same time. And here's the honest part.

Google's biggest, most powerful model, the one they call 3.5 Pro, is actually still not out yet. It's running late. So these three Flash models are Google's way of saying, hey, we're still here and we're moving fast. They even hinted that Gemini 4 is already cooking behind the scenes.

So really, this is Google keeping the pressure on while the big one gets ready. Okay, so what does all this mean for you? If you build things, you now have a smarter, cheaper, everyday helper in 3.6 Flash. If you run high volume stuff like support or sorting piles of docs, you've got a fast little workhorse in Flashlight.

And if you care about keeping your code safe, there's now a model built just for that. But here's the real takeaway. You do not need to be a coder or some tech genius to use any of this. You just need to know what to type.

That's it. That's the whole secret. The people who learn how to talk to these tools are going to build faster, serve customers better, and get hours of their week back. The people who don't are going to be doing everything by hand while everyone else automates.

I know which side I want you on. So here's what to do next. If you want the full process, the step-by-step guides, and over 100 real AI use cases, just like the ones I showed you today, come join the AI Success Lab. It's my free community.

The link's in the comments and the description. You'll get all the notes from this video in there. Plus, you'll be hanging out with over 38,000 members who are all learning to crush it with AI. It's free.

Come say hi. And if you're ready to actually grow your business with this stuff, the AI Profit Boardroom is where I go deep. That's where I show you how to save time and automate your whole business using AI tools exactly like Gemini. Landing pages, emails, support bots, all of it.

The link is in the description. So tell me down in the comments, which of these three models are you trying first? The smart one, the fast one, or the security one? Julian reads every single comment, so let me know.

And do you think Google's new plan of building specialist models gives it an edge over OpenAI and the others? I really want to hear it. Thanks for hanging out with me. I'll see you in the next one.
