Google and OpenAI both pushed the same message today: AI is now fast enough to feel impressive for those who use AI agents, each company announcing ultra fast models.
Key facts
- That intro price expires December 31, then doubles to $1.50 and $7.50, which is still cheap for a Google model
- Google's own benchmark sheet puts Gemini 3.7 Flash ahead of Claude Sonnet 5, GPT-5.6 Terra, and others on 11 of 18 tested categories, including a top Code Arena web-dev score of 1,588 Elo and 30.4%
- Gemini 3.7 Flash is live now in more than 160 countries; GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast is still invite-only
- Previewing Ultrafast mode: GPT-5.6 Sol at up to 14x the speed
Summary
Google launched Gemini 3.7 Flash on Thursday, a low-cost coding-and-agents model now generally available. OpenAI previewed GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast, a Cerebras-powered tier running its most capable model up to 14× faster. The speed race has shifted from raw intelligence to real-time agents, but only Google's model reaches every developer today. The two launches are built differently, and only one is in your hands today.
