User Test: Minimal Difference Between Google AI 3.6 and 3.7 Flash
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-08-17
User comparison between the default 3.6 Flash model and the new 3.7 Flash model in Google AI search.
Observations:
- The change is not significant for local results.
- The ordered list of entities mentioned in the answer remains largely the same.
- The main difference lies in the top 3 citations, which usually feature different URLs compared to 3.6 Flash.
Speculation: This is likely just a change in the model's "taste" for URL selection, while the selection of specific entities (sourced from other Google systems like Business Profiles) remains unchanged.
