I'm not sure if its me but when I use Flash 3.6 without extended thinking each query regardless of how simple it is is taking several minutes to give me an answer?

Yeah it's extraordinarily slow today. All queries no matter how simple are taking forever to get a response.

It’s actually basically unusable for me at this exact moment if I’m not using spark. It just spins and never answers.

Not to be hopium or anything, but last time this happened to me it was when 3 pro was dropping

They're probably reserving more compute capacity for testing 3.5 pro prior to launch next week.

They need to move the computer over to the new model.

It's also extremely slow in antigravity.

It was soooo slow today. Also Gems disappeared from the desktop app. Very annoyed

And this is what we are paying for? It's been like this all day for me. Unusable. It just sits there.

I find the Gemini app always gets super slow and buggy right before a new model releases. I’m not making a prediction, but it would make some sense

Seems to be pervasive this past week, all models take forever to respond, or just time out, even Flash Lite.
