Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Google says the new Flash model trades extra reasoning tokens for stronger coding, agent, and security performance at the same listed price as 3.7 Flash.
The release has two variants: a general Gemini 3.8 Flash model and a restricted Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber model for trusted defenders. Google says 3.8 Flash improves on 3.7 Flash in long-horizon software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning, while keeping the same introductory token prices. The Cyber version is presented as stronger at vulnerability discovery and automated patching, with access routed through the Fairwind Program. Google says it is already using the Cyber model internally, including for Chrome security and cloud vulnerability research. HN · Frontpage AI's note
