Gemini 3.5 Flash gets built-in computer use

Computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash

Google added a native computer-use tool to Gemini 3.5 Flash. The model can take screenshots, move the cursor, click, and type directly, without relying on an external VM like Anthropic's approach. The post doesn't disclose benchmark scores or latency numbers, but developers can try it now in Google AI Studio. I'd wait for real-world tests on complex UIs before getting too excited.

Why it matters: Google shipped built-in computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash, directly competing with Anthropic's approach. The post gives implementation details and a trial entry point, but no benchmarks or latency numbers, so the score stays at 78.
