Three Big AI Players Unleash New Models Amid Shift from Smarts to Speed
Three major AI players - Google, OpenAI, and DeepSeek - released new models within 24 hours of each other. The models aim to address different needs in the market: price, speed, or flexibility.
Google launched Gemini 3.7 Flash at half the price of its predecessor, while OpenAI introduced Ultrafast mode, which runs up to 14 times faster and generates up to 750 tokens per second. DeepSeek's V4-Pro model adds adjustable 'thinking' levels for developers to dial reasoning up or down depending on the task.
The gains are real: Gemini 3.7 Flash jumped from writing correct code 34% of the time to 44%, and doubled its score on a test for reading dense documents like financial reports.
