# Google releases Gemini 3.7 Flash at half the price of 3.6 Flash

Gemini 3.7 Flash (GA 13 Aug 2026, `gemini-3.7-flash`) was billed as Google's "most intelligent workhorse model yet for coding and agents", with big gains over 3.6 Flash (DeepSWE v1.1 65.3% vs 49.0%) at an introductory $0.75/$3.75 per 1M tokens — half 3.6 Flash's launch price. It shipped while Gemini 3.5 Pro was still delayed.

## Key facts
- Released 2026-08-13, three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash; API ID gemini-3.7-flash
- Intro price $0.75 input / $3.75 output per 1M tokens until 2026-12-31, then $1.50 / $7.50
- DeepSWE v1.1: 65.3% (3.6 Flash: 49.0%)
- FrontierCode 1.1 Main: 43.6% (3.6 Flash: 34.4%)
- WebDev Arena Elo: 1588 (3.6 Flash: 1538)
- GDP.pdf: 34.0% (22.0%); AutomationBench: 30.4% (17.0%)
- Powers Gemini Spark agent for AI Pro/Ultra subscribers in 160+ countries
- Updated safeguards for CBRN and cyber-offense domains
- Sept 1, 2026: 'agentic video understanding' in the Gemini API for 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite: the model uses native video tools to fetch only the segments, audio or transcript it needs instead of sampling at a fixed 1 FPS; Google reports up to 88% fewer tokens, up to 66% lower cost and up to 7% higher accuracy on video benchmarks
- Aug 27, 2026: Google's Antigravity 'Teamwork' multi-agent framework paired 3.7 Flash (with 3.1 Pro) to produce results on seven open CS/math problems and 71% on TCSBench (see [2026-08-27-antigravity-teamwork-open-problems](https://postcutoff.com/e/2026-08-27-antigravity-teamwork-open-problems/index.md))

## What happened

On 13 August 2026 Google launched Gemini 3.7 Flash across the Gemini API (AI Studio), Android Studio, Google Antigravity, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and the Gemini app, where it also became the model behind the Gemini Spark personal agent. Google reported large jumps over 3.6 Flash on coding and agentic benchmarks (see key facts) and cut the introductory price to half of 3.6 Flash's.

## Why it matters

A second Flash upgrade in three weeks, and a price cut, showed Google competing on cost-efficient agentic coding while its flagship Pro model slipped. Bloomberg and Axios both framed the launch around the continuing Gemini 3.5 Pro delay.
