At a glance

  • Released roughly three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash
  • DeepSWE v1.1: 49.0 → 65.3%; FrontierCode: 34.4 → 43.6%
  • WebDev Arena Elo: 1538 → 1588
  • Intro pricing: $0.75/M input, $3.75/M output tokens through end of 2026
  • Available in the Gemini app (Spark), AI Studio, and Gemini Enterprise

Google has released Gemini 3.7 Flash — only about three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash. The new model squarely targets software engineering and autonomous agent workflows, posting clear gains on the relevant benchmarks: DeepSWE v1.1 rises from 49.0 to 65.3 percent, and FrontierCode 1.1 Main from 34.4 to 43.6 percent.

Improvements extend beyond coding: the model's WebDev Arena Elo climbs from 1538 to 1588, and AutomationBench from 17.0 to 30.4 percent. Google also highlights progress on knowledge work across finance, law, and biosciences.

On pricing, Google is going on the offensive: through the end of 2026, introductory rates are $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens — half the previous launch price. That positions Flash as the workhorse for cost-sensitive agent applications.

Gemini 3.7 Flash is broadly available: in the Gemini app (via the Spark feature for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers), in AI Studio, Android Studio, Google Antigravity, and the Gemini Enterprise platform.

The three-week cadence is itself the story: Google now ships its Flash line like software releases — raising the pressure on OpenAI and Anthropic, whose latest price and speed moves cut along the same lines.
