`Gemini 3.5 Flash` is now GA in `GitHub Copilot`
FIG-0071:1

`Gemini 3.5 Flash` is now GA in `GitHub Copilot`

A faster, cheaper coding model option is landing in the IDE. Near-Pro quality at Flash-tier cost makes it worth testing for routine implementation loops.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. GitHub Copilot is rolling out Google’s latest Flash-tier model as a generally available option, not a preview-only experiment.
  2. Early testing claims near-Pro coding quality with Flash-tier speed and cost, useful for high-volume autocomplete and edit cycles.
  3. The practical play is model routing: keep premium models for hard design calls, use Gemini 3.5 Flash for repetitive coding throughput.
