Philipp Schmid announced Gemini 3.8 Flash GA — the third Flash release in 6 weeks, continuing the focus on real-world engineering, long-horizon tasks, and agent autonomy, and better than 3.7 Flash across all domains.
- Unchanged pricing: $0.75 / $3.75 per 1M tokens.
- Behavioral shift: takes smaller steps and verifies its work more often — higher token usage, but spent effectively on running tests and verifying changes, yielding higher quality on complex long-running goals.
- Now the default model in Antigravity and Managed Agents; available in Google AI Studio, Gemini API, and the Gemini App.
