Google launched Gemini 3.8 Flash on September 2, 2026, priced at $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens, matching the introductory rate of its predecessor Gemini 3.7 Flash from three weeks prior. This is the fourth Flash-tier release in four months, extending a rapid cadence that is reshaping developer cost expectations for AI inference. For a financial institution, this signals ongoing price compression in the mid-tier model market, which pressures margins for AI vendors and accelerates the need for precise cost modeling of inference workloads.
