Google has introduced Gemini 3.8 Flash, which reportedly performs more reasoning steps and utilizes tools more effectively than its predecessor, Gemini 3.7 Flash. While the introductory pricing remains the same, the new model may lead to increased costs for users due to higher token usage for optimal performance.
The launch includes Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, part of the Fairwind Program aimed at governments and trusted partners. This version is designed to enhance software engineering and autonomous AI capabilities, with notable improvements over previous models in key benchmarks.
