A user shared timestamped screenshots showing Gemini self-identifying as "3.8 Flash" at 1:45 PM — hours before Google officially announced the model.
It's presented as evidence of a silent rollout: the model was switched live before the official announcement, and the model itself spilled the beans when asked. A classic self-incriminating model moment.
