Google has released Gemini 3.8 Flash, its third Flash-model variant in just six weeks, emphasizing improved reasoning and coding capabilities. The model ships in two tiers — a standard Flash for agentic and development tasks, and a Flash Cyber variant tuned for vulnerability detection and mitigation — with competitive introductory pricing through the end of the year.
Background
Google has not released a frontier-level Gemini Pro model since early 2026, instead focusing on iterative Flash releases. The AI race continues to drive aggressive token-pricing competition among major labs.
