Google releases Gemini 3.7 Flash to replace 3.6 Flash

In short: Google is rolling out Gemini 3.7 Flash, a new version of its Gemini AI model, only three weeks after releasing Gemini 3.6 Flash.

What happened

Google announced Gemini 3.7 Flash and says it will replace Gemini 3.6 Flash, which launched about three weeks ago. Google describes Flash as a “workhorse” model, meaning it is meant for everyday tasks where speed and cost matter.

Google says 3.7 Flash is better at writing and fixing code. It pointed to higher scores on several standardized tests used by AI developers to compare models. Think of these tests like timed practice exams that measure different skills, such as coding, reading documents, and completing step by step tasks.

Google also says the model is better at handling complex documents and business style workflows. For example, one document test score rose from 22% to 34%, and one workflow test score rose from 17% to 30.4%.

Pricing is also changing. Google says Gemini 3.7 Flash will be available through the end of the year at an “introductory price” of $0.75 per 1 million input tokens and $3.75 per 1 million output tokens. Tokens are small pieces of text that AI models count, like charging by the word, but in smaller chunks.

Availability depends on where you use Gemini. Google says it is live in the Gemini API, AI Studio, and Gemini Enterprise. In the Gemini app, it powers the Gemini Spark agent for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, but the regular chatbot interface still uses 3.6 Flash for now.

Why it matters

For businesses and app makers building on Gemini, a new model can mean slightly better results and lower costs. For regular users, the upgrade may be less noticeable right away since it is not yet broadly available in the standard Gemini chat experience.
