Gemini 3.8 Flash, the third Flash release in six weeks, scores 54.9% on HLE-Verified; its Cyber variant goes to trusted defenders via Fairwind.
"Works harder" by design, with more reasoning steps and iterative tool calls, so it may use more tokens at high effort. Same $0.75 / $3.75 price as 3.7. The Cyber variant surpasses 3.5 Flash Cyber and larger frontier models on CyberGym.
