Google released Gemini 3.8 Flash and a tuned variant, Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, as its third Flash model in six weeks. It priced API access at $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens through the end of the year. The rollout adds a dedicated vulnerability-focused model and temporarily reduces token costs for developers using the API.

Google launches Gemini 3.8 Flash as its newest “workhorse” model for coding and agents. It scores 89.4% on Terminal-bench 2.1 and ships at the same introductory price as 3.7: $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens through Dec 31. The update improves results on long-horizon coding and multi-step reasoning benchmarks while keeping the same token pricing and expanding availability to the Gemini app (Pro/Ultra), AI Studio, Enterprise, Antigravity, and the API.

Google launched Gemini Flash 3.8 and Flash 3.8 Cyber just weeks after its previous Flash release. The introductory price is $0.75 per 1M input tokens and $3.75 per 1M output tokens, rising to $1.50/$7.50 after December 31, 2026. Flash 3.8 expands faster agentic coding/computer-use performance and introduces Fairwind-gated access to the cybersecurity model, which targets faster vulnerability detection and automated patching.

Simon Willison posted a brief titled “llm-gemini 0.34” as part of a monthly LLM digest. It went up on 2 September 2026 and advertises a $10/month sponsorship option. The only change described is that readers can pay to get (or support) the curated email digest; no substantive new LLM development is detailed.

Google launched Gemini 3.8 Flash, claiming it performs more reasoning steps and uses iterative tool calls compared with Gemini 3.7 Flash. Pricing starts at $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens, but Google warns it may use more tokens at higher effort levels. Developers can stay on Gemini 3.7 Flash to minimize token usage.

Agentic coding models keep shipping—and the day’s biggest thread was Reflection AI publishing Beam as open weights, complete with post-training recipes and customization tooling. Beam is built for long-horizon software work with 501 billion total parameters and a 23 billion active slice per forward pass, trained over two months on several thousand high-end GPUs. The practical part is what matters: deploy-ready serving configs, quantized variants, and AWS options via SageMaker JumpStart or Kubernetes-native SageMaker HyperPod Inference, with checkpoints in BF16, FP8, or NVFP4.
