Google’s Gemini 3.8 Flash supports multimodal understanding, three thinking levels, and tool-assisted workflows with promotional API pricing.
At a glance
API model ID: gemini-3.8-flash
Capabilities & boundaries
Tool support requires the appropriate API integration; a supported tool is not automatically active in every chat.
Medium is the documented default. Start there, then compare low for straightforward tasks and high for more complex reasoning. The minimal setting returns an error for this model. Levels are relative thinking controls, not fixed token budgets or guarantees of correctness.
Put it to work
Original examples from EZ Ai Assist. Adapt these to your task and the features available in your workspace.
Workflow 01
Combine supplied text and screenshots into a compact review queue.
Review the support requests and screenshots I provide. For each request, identify the observed issue, relevant evidence, likely owner, and one safe next step. Return a table with an uncertainty column. Do not infer missing account details or claim to have tested the product. Flag any item that needs a human decision.
Workflow 02
Ask for concrete defects, not a broad rewrite.
Review this small code change against the behavior described below. Trace the affected inputs and error paths, identify concrete defects, and cite the relevant lines. Separate findings from assumptions. Propose minimal tests and explain what each would catch. Do not refactor unrelated code or execute external actions.
Workflow 03
Keep visual and audio claims tied to the provided material.
Using the clip or transcript supplied here, summarize the sequence of events and extract the decisions and open questions. Include timestamps where the source supports them. Distinguish visible actions from spoken claims and uncertain interpretations. Do not invent missing speech, people, or events. End with a short verification checklist.

Common questions
Compare it when a repeatable workflow is sensitive to latency, cost, or errors. Run the same inputs with a shared scoring rubric and include difficult cases. The newer release name does not establish that it is the best choice for every task.
No. Google documents low, medium, and high for this model, with medium as the default. Sending minimal produces an error; do not reuse an older Flash configuration without checking it.
This model understands supported audio and video inputs but returns text. Native media generation and the Live API are not supported by this endpoint. Separate Google models and products have different capabilities.
Google currently schedules the promotional rates to end December 31, 2026. From January 1, 2027, Standard input, cached input, and output are listed at $1.50, $0.15, and $7.50 per million tokens. Recheck the official table before budgeting.
Yes—adapt these original editorial examples to the inputs and controls available in your workspace. Share only material you are authorized to provide. They are starting points, not benchmarks or a promise of a particular result.
No. The 1,048,576-token input limit is capacity, not a recall guarantee. Organize sources with names and sections, request citations, and check them. The separate maximum output is 65,536 tokens; actual requests must also fit integration limits.
No. The table describes direct Google API token usage. EZ Ai Assist subscriptions and app capabilities are separate. Use our pricing page for current plans and check the app for enabled models and controls.
