Gemini Flash
Google's fast line for long-horizon software engineering and autonomous agents.
Gemini Flash is Google's fast tier — in Google's own words for 3.8 Flash, engineered for long-horizon software engineering and autonomous agents. It undercuts Argon at $0.75 in / $3.75 out per MTok on introductory pricing, and four versions are offered today.
What it is good at
- Agentic coding loops where the cost per iteration matters
- Four versions offered, from 3.8 Flash down to the access-limited 2.5
What it is less good at
- Introductory pricing doubles on January 1, 2027
- No benchmarks published by Google

The seat line
Each route maps to a TeamCLI seat line — the same fields, written generically. No machine paths, no launcher script of anybody's, no team's own seat names.
| Route | cli | vendor | model | version | display | launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antigravity | antigravity | google | Gemini Flash | 3.8 | Gemini 3.8 Flash | agy |
| Cursor | cursor | google | Gemini Flash | 3.8 | Gemini 3.8 Flash | cursor-agent |
Known quirks
- The hosted Gemini CLI no longer serves personal accounts; Antigravity's agy is the Google route for a personal account.
Versions
One block per version, the current one first, each with its own anchor. The comparison table puts the costs and the family's benchmark columns side by side; the values are verbatim, and every one is sourced and dated in its version's section below and in the Sources list. A dash means the source publishes no figure, and nothing here is estimated.
No independent intelligence or speed index is republished here: Artificial Analysis measures both across labs, and its terms allow the link but not the copy — its figures live on its own pages.
