Gemini 3.8 Flash
Long-horizon coding and agent workflows
EDITORIAL VERDICT
A production-ready speed-and-reasoning model with a 1M-token context window and tunable thinking, but buyers should measure total tokens per completed task rather than assuming Flash always means the lowest final cost.
$0.75/1M input and $3.75/1M output tokens during introductory pricing
Google AI Studio access; usage terms apply
Plan and feature packaging changes frequently. Re-check the official product before procurement.
