Google’s Gemini 3.8 Flash takes on bigger AI models at a lower cost

Google released Gemini 3.8 Flash with a security-focused Cyber variant that produces 2.6x more correct patches and found a critical vulnerability in under two hours.

Google launched Gemini 3.8 Flash for developers and a gated Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber model reserved for vetted security teams through the new Fairwind program. The company says the model beats most larger frontier models on the DeepSWE v1.1 engineering benchmark at lower cost, and Chrome Security reports the Cyber variant produced 2.6 times more correct patches than the best commercial models while Google's Cloud Vulnerability Research team found a critical foundational vulnerability in under two hours. The models show significant prompt-injection robustness gains measured by Gray Swan and carry CBRN misuse safeguards, with cyber-offense restrictions on the standard version. Pricing matches Gemini 3.7 Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens.
