Google Unveils Gemini 3.8 Flash Models for Software Engineering and Cybersecurity

Google has released two new models in its Gemini series: Gemini 3.8 Flash and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber.

The Gemini 3.8 Flash model is designed for software engineering, AI agents, and multi-step reasoning tasks in specialized fields, with a price tag of $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens.

In select tests, the model's performance approached that of higher-cost flagship models, such as Claude Opus 5, but at a significantly lower API call cost.

The Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber model focuses on vulnerability discovery and automated remediation in cybersecurity defense scenarios, available only to vetted, trusted defense teams through the new Fairwind program.
