When can we use it in Gemini (web)?

It still uses 3.6 Flash for example.

Hopefully before they release 4.0 Flash we will finally get Gemini 3.5 Pro.
simonsarris 19 hours ago||
more likely 4 pro will be released pretty soon instead, since pre-training for 4 began in late July

Nah, we'll just get the 4.0 Pro Preview.

I’m interested in a general knowledge model (closed or open weight) and not coding specific. I want to plan for travel and trip. Do you have one of your favorite HN crowd?

If Google has the juice and wants to win, they need to start releasing world models.

From personal experience it feels much more capable than 3.7 Flash.

I use Gemini to make sense of things Claude says to me.

  [1] For tone and instruction following, a positive percentage increase represents an improvement in the tone of the model on sensitive topics and the model’s ability to follow instructions while remaining safe compared to Gemini 3 Flash. We mark improvements in green and regressions in red.
Gemini 3 Flash?! So is Gemini 3.8 Flash less safe than 3.7 Flash in all areas besides Text to Text Safety (and identical on Image to Text Safety)?

Why bother with a column “Gemini 3.8 Flash vs. Gemini 3.7 Flash” when you’re going to disregard the label for 20% of it? Also is the “Tone” label short for “Tone and Instruction Following”?

Chartcrime, the major AI lab tradition.

A company with 400+B revenue from software cannot build a usable command line cli for its vital AI model?

They do have a cli: https://github.com/google-antigravity/antigravity-cli

It’s strange that its score on Terminal‑Bench 4.0 is so low. They aren’t fast enough to benchmaxx that section.
