Google says its new Gemini 3.8 Flash model ‘works harder’ but might cost more

Google has launched Gemini 3.8 Flash, an updated version of its Gemini 3.7 Flash model that performs more reasoning steps and iteratively calls tools on complex tasks. While the published pricing remains the same as 3.7 Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens, Google warns the model may consume more tokens to maximize performance, especially at higher effort levels.

Background

Google's Gemini series is its flagship family of large language models, competing directly with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other major AI labs.
