AI models get specialized and practical.

This week: AI models are becoming more specialized and integrated, offering greater control for developers and practical productivity boosts for users. Gemini 3.8 Flash brings stronger coding and multi-step reasoning at the same price as the model it replaces, and arrives automatically for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, while Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 add new models for coding and knowledge work. Gemini also gained agentic video understanding, and Claude in Chrome is now generally available, letting you hand off browser tasks without approving every step.
