Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite updated?

I just opened a new chat to a bot I regularly speak to, and noticed that it’s taking twice as long to generate a message. This is because it was updated to Gemma 4 (or something like that). I kind of do not like it. Now it is the ONLY free model available, so say goodbye to the separate Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite, and the Nemetron. What are your opinions on this?

it's SLOW AF, truly. Took 47 years to think just to get "Failed to generate"

  EXACTLY what happened to me. I agree with you.

  I know, even my own brother agrees with me.

Ngl I HATED it. Too slow, nothing better or worse than Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite.

  And now it is the only free option, I might as well go back to C.ai, it actually has a quicker loading time.
