What is Google Gemini 3.8 Flash?

Computers that work with human language are often built as large language models, which are machine learning programs trained on a vast amount of text. Such models can typically generate, summarize, translate and analyze text in many contexts. Gemini 3.8 Flash is a model from Google's Gemini family, and Google describes it as engineered for long-horizon software engineering (large, multi-step coding projects), autonomous agents (programs that act on their own), and complex enterprise workflows. Its model card says it accepts text, images, audio and video as input, and the card presents it as building on the earlier Gemini 3.7 Flash.
