Gemini 3.5 Flash powers Archon UI design

Gemini 3.5 Flash proves that "lightweight" no longer means "low quality" for complex design and reasoning tasks. Its 1M token context window allows agents to reason across entire frontend codebases without context loss, while native multimodal support enables the model to interpret visual UI mocks and translate them into functional React code. At 4x faster token generation than Claude 4.7, real-time "thinking" loops become viable for iterative design tweaks. Archon orchestration leverages this high-speed reasoning to run parallel subagents for research and editing, rivaling Gemini 3.1 Pro in coding benchmarks while maintaining Flash-series cost-efficiency.
