How this price is scoped: Google's Gemini API pricing page prints a dated, two-phase schedule for this model, the same Standard tier as Gemini 3.7 Flash: $0.75 per 1M input tokens through December 31, 2026, rising to $1.50 on January 1, 2027, and $3.75 per 1M output tokens through December 31, 2026, rising to $7.50. Context caching follows the same dates ($0.075, then $0.15). We publish the rate you would pay today and re-verify it before the changeover date. Note that resellers may quote a lower figure: OpenRouter's ':batch' route for this model shows $0.375/$1.875, which is Google's own Batch tier — exactly half the standard rate, and not what an ordinary API call is billed. We publish the standard rate. Checked 2026-09-03 against ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing, anchored on the section's API-name line 'Gemini 3.8 Flash gemini-3.8-flash'.

Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 84.1th5 independent measurements
Percentile per $/Mtok 56.1

We hold no per-benchmark accuracy scores for this model yet, so it has no accuracy average. That is a gap in our coverage, not a sign the model is untested — independent evaluators often publish a composite index for a new model long before releasing its per-benchmark numbers. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.

Independent composite scores
  • AA Intelligence Index: 58.7 (Artificial Analysis composite across reasoning, knowledge and coding evals)
  • AA Agentic Index: 50 (Tool use, planning, autonomy)
  • AA-Omniscience Index: 29.6 (−100–100)
  • GDPval-AA v2: 1545.5 ELO (Real-world work tasks, human baseline = 1000)
  • LMSYS Chatbot Arena: 1493.8 ELO (Human preference)
How it stacks up
  • Ranks #12 of 175 comparably-measured models by percentile score, across 5 independent measurements
  • Ranks #44 of 175 comparably-tested models by normalized performance per dollar
