01 / OVERVIEW

Gemini 3.8 Flash
overview.

Gemini 3.8 Flash is Google’s multimodal Flash release. Its published input capabilities include audio and video alongside text and images, while its output is text. It is a separate model from Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, so the Flash and Pro names should not substitute for comparing the actual releases and their evaluation results.

questions, answered.

Is Gemini 3.8 Flash an image or speech generator?
The model listed here has published text output. Understanding an image, audio clip or video is different from generating those media. This entry should not be confused with a separate image-generation or text-to-speech model.
