Gemini 3.8 Flash
Gemini 3.8 Flash, the latest iteration of the Gemini 3 series, expands input support to text, images, audio, and video with a 1 million-token context window and produces up to 64 k tokens of text, while offering customizable effort levels for quality, cost, and latency. It is evaluated on coding, knowledge work, multimodal, long-context, computer-use, and scientific-reasoning benchmarks, and is marketed for cost-effective, production-ready agents in software engineering and complex knowledge workflows, though it can still hallucinate, experience occasional slowness, and has a knowledge cutoff of March 2026.
