# Gemini 3.8 Flash is now available in GitHub Copilot

Gemini 3.8 Flash, Google’s latest Flash model, is now available in GitHub Copilot.

In our early testing, Gemini 3.8 Flash performed strongly on complex terminal-based coding tasks and demonstrated rigorous validation and persistent recovery from actionable failures.

This model is billed at introductory provider pricing under usage-based billing through December 31, 2026. See [pricing for GitHub Copilot models and requests](https://docs.github.com/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/models-and-pricing) for details.
