A fast model for agents, a bet on connecting AI to more systems and a Deno release full of everyday tools for shipping code.
Gemini 3.5 Flash beats 3.1 Pro at coding and agents at Flash speed
Google opened the Gemini 3.5 family with 3.5 Flash, which according to the company is its strongest model for agents and coding, ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro on tests such as Terminal-Bench 2.1 and MCP Atlas, and up to 4 times faster than other frontier models in output tokens per second. It is already in the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, the API through AI Studio, Android Studio and Gemini's enterprise platforms. 3.5 Pro is expected the following month.
Fast models with frontier quality cut cost and response time in customer service agents, automations and internal tools. Include 3.5 Flash in comparison tests before choosing a project's model.

Anthropic acquires Stainless, which generates SDKs, CLIs and MCP servers from APIs
Anthropic announced it is acquiring Stainless, the company that has generated every official Anthropic API SDK since the start. Stainless turns an API spec into SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, Java and other languages, plus CLIs and MCP servers, and is used by hundreds of companies. According to Anthropic, agents are only as useful as the systems they can connect to, and the deal strengthens that connectivity.
Companies that expose APIs to partners and customers have more and more reason to also offer an MCP server, so AI agents can use the service. A well-maintained API spec is the starting point for generating SDKs and connectors.

Deno 2.8 fixes vulnerable dependencies on its own and adds CI and publishing commands
Deno 2.8, according to the team its biggest minor release so far, brings deno audit fix, which automatically upgrades npm packages with known vulnerabilities to the nearest patched version. It also adds deno ci, which installs exactly what the lockfile says and fails if anything is off, deno bump-version, which updates versions across workspaces, and deno pack, which packages a project for publishing to npm.
Fewer manual steps in dependency maintenance and pipelines reduce failures and time spent on repetitive tasks. Teams with JavaScript and TypeScript projects can use these commands to standardize builds.
