Sep 2, 2026Tulsee Doshi, Raluca Ada Popa

Summary
Introduces Gemini 3.8 Flash, an advancement over 3.7 Flash with improved performance on long-horizon coding (DeepSWE v1.1) and specialized reasoning tasks (Vals Finance Agent V2, Harvey's Legal Agent Benchmark, HLE-Verified). It achieves this through more diligent execution of reasoning steps and iterative tool calls. Also introduces Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, a cybersecurity model with frontier-level performance on vulnerability discovery (CyberGym, internal benchmark) and automated patching (CWE-Bench). Real-world impact is demonstrated through its use in securing Google's code (Chrome, Wiz, Cloud Vulnerability Research). Both models incorporate enhanced prompt injection robustness.
