Google has released Gemini 3.8 Flash as a new general-purpose model for coding, agentic workflows and multi-step reasoning. It is available through the Gemini API, AI Studio, Gemini Enterprise and selected consumer surfaces.
The introductory API price remains $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens, matching Gemini 3.7 Flash. Google has already announced higher pricing from January 1, 2027, so the current rate is explicitly temporary.
Alongside the public model, Google introduced Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber. That version uses a more permissive cybersecurity safety profile and is restricted through the Fairwind Program to approved defenders such as government bodies, critical-infrastructure operators and software maintainers.
The split is significant: Google is separating stronger cyber capability from the general endpoint rather than exposing both under the same access model. Benchmark gains published with the launch are first-party results and still need independent workload testing.
