Unverified leak claims Google shipped Gemini 3.8 Flash, its best reasoning and coding model
abhishek__AI · x · 2026-09-03
A user claims Google quietly released Gemini 3.8 Flash, billed as its best reasoning and coding model yet: frontier-level coding at $0.75/M tokens, built for autonomous agents, and scoring 54.9% on HLE-Verified — reportedly at the same price as Gemini 3.7 Flash.
The post also teases an even more aggressive "Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber" variant. This is an unconfirmed rumor with no official Google announcement, so treat with skepticism until verified.
