  • The coding jump is real

    Gemini 3.7 Flash hits 43.6% on FrontierCode 1.1 (up from 3.6 Flash's 34.4%) and 65.3% on DeepSWE v1.1 (from 49.0%), with a 1588 WebDev Arena Elo. At the Flash tier that means fewer retries and less babysitting inside your agent loops.

  • Half price — with a December clock

    Intro pricing is $0.75 per 1M input and $3.75 per 1M output, half of 3.6 Flash — but only through Dec 31, 2026, then it doubles to $1.50/$7.50. It's the cheapest capable coding model for the rest of the year; budget for the January step-up.

  • Where to wire it in today

  • Not just code: docs and automation nearly doubled

    Document comprehension jumped to 34.0% on GDP.pdf (from 22.0%) and workflow automation to 30.4% on AutomationBench (from 17.0%). That's a real unlock for PDF-heavy RAG and multi-step automation agents you'd have paid a frontier model to run.
