Gemini 3.8 Flash Calculator — requests per $1

Every monthly plan that includes Gemini 3.8 Flash, converted to requests per $1 at the model's typical request shape. Same engine as the main calculator — proxy estimates carry a ~ marker; coarse estimates carry .

Gemini 3.8 Flash is Google's newest Flash flagship for coding and agents, released September 2026 — the intro API rate is $0.75/$3.75 (input/output) through 2026-12-31, then $1.50/$7.50.

Why prices differGemini 3.8 Flash launched with a windowed intro API rate that steps up to the regular rate after 2026-12-31. Providers surface different rates depending on when they added the model — some pass through the intro rate, others already use the regular post-intro rate — so the calculator can show the same model at two list prices until the window closes.
