💥 Big News
Google just released Gemini 3.6 Flash, an upgraded AI model that gets more done while using fewer resources. It scores higher than its predecessor on coding, knowledge work, and research tasks, and it uses 17% fewer output tokens, which means faster responses at a lower price.
Alongside it, Google launched 3.5 Flash-Lite, a speed-focused model that runs at 350 tokens per second for high-volume tasks like sorting documents or powering search. Both are live now in the Gemini app, and Google confirmed it has started training Gemini 4. 
Why it matters:
- Gets better results in coding & research while using 17% fewer tokens
- Costs less per task than the previous Flash model
- Available now in the Gemini app, with Gemini 4 already in training

✨ Weekly Spotlight
The Digital Clone Playbook: Monetize Your Expertise 24/7
Your expertise is a bottleneck. In HubSpot's Digital Clone Playbook, you get 5 prompts that show you how to build an AI version of yourself that answers in your voice, 24/7, and charges for access. Tony Robbins' clone runs at $99/month. Yours can too. No dev team or podcast empire required.
Key Takeaways:
- Train on your voice (feed the model your writing, interviews & frameworks so it actually sounds like you)
- Stop repeating yourself (route DMs, FAQs & intake questions straight to your clone)
- Build passive income (charge subscriptions, gate premium access, or embed your clone in a lead funnel)
- Scale your niche knowledge (your clone works while you sleep, speak, or finally take that vacation)
- Launch without a dev team (these prompts handle setup, positioning & pricing)
