Google DeepMind officially released two new models:
- Gemini 3.8 Flash: billed as its most intelligent Flash yet, with significant gains over 3.7 Flash in software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning
- Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber: its most capable cybersecurity model, with frontier-level vulnerability detection and automated patching
dair-ai praised the pricing and noted Cyber sits on the Pareto frontier for patching—"don't count out Gemini just yet."
