12. Developers Petition Google to Retain Gemini 2.5 Flash Amid Latency Concerns
While Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash introduced higher token throughput, developers are reporting significant latency regressions—with completion times rising from 300-400ms to 600-800ms—and a threefold increase in costs. In response, a growing number of developers are petitioning Google to maintain access to Gemini 2.5 Flash, warning that they may migrate to open-weights alternatives if the older model is deprecated.
