Google Launches Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash Cyber With New API Pricing and Access

Google has unveiled Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash Cyber, two new models in its Flash family, alongside updated API pricing and access. Gemini 3.8 Flash is tailored for coding, software engineering, agentic workflows, and multi-step reasoning, while the Flash Cyber variant is intended for vulnerability discovery and automated patching for trusted defenders.

Both models offer developers, paid Gemini users, and Gemini Enterprise customers varied access options. The Flash Flash models represent Google's third Flash release in six weeks, following Gemini 3.7 Flash. The company emphasizes that 3.8 Flash is its most intelligent workhorse model, delivering significant enhancements over 3.7 Flash on long-horizon reasoning and multi-step tasks.

For businesses, the new models are particularly valuable for real-world tasks that involve multiple steps, such as interpreting requests, working with code or documents, checking intermediate results, and producing outputs for review. Google positions Gemini 3.8 Flash around these coding and agent-oriented workflows, highlighting its acceleration through agentic loops and improvements in coding, software engineering, agentic workflows, long-horizon reasoning, and multi-step tasks.
