Google DeepMind
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Google’s fast model for agents and long code
What it is
Google’s Flash tier for long-horizon software engineering and agent workflows: 1,048,576-token input, 65,536-token output, text, image, video, audio and PDF input, and a free tier.
NLT take
The cheapest way to put a million-token window behind an agent. The 65K output cap is the catch: it is a reader and a planner, not a whole-repo writer.
Before you switch
Introductory pricing ends December 31, 2026: $0.75/$3.75 becomes $1.50/$7.50.
Cost for a real task
The same task on every model: 50,000 input tokens and 10,000 output tokens, at the base tier.
