Google releases Gemini 3.8 Flash, its third Flash model in six weeks

Today, Google is announcing its third Flash model release in just six weeks , making it more likely that we'll never see the promised Gemini 3.5 Pro. But no matter, says Google, because Gemini 3.8 Flash is its best reasoning and coding model yet.
