A developer complains that Google's official Gemini app still shows Gemini 3.6 Flash as "new" while 3.8 Flash is already out—two models behind—and laments that Google finds new ways to disappoint every time he gives it a chance, highlighting the gap between Google's release cadence and its own app.
