Andrew Curran calls it a crazy week: Google released Gemini 3.8 Flash and Muse Spark 1.3 today, after Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 yesterday, with Astra apparently due tomorrow morning. Seth Lazar quotes the post with a wry jab — "is this what pacing looks like" — highlighting Google's unusually rapid model release cadence.
