Google's Robby Stein, VP of Product at Google Search, said on [X](https://x.com/rmstein/status/2095176293751124182), "Gemini 3.8 Flash has landed in Search." This comes only a couple of weeks after Google brought Gemini 3.7 Flash to AI Mode within Google Search.

This will work in Google Search's AI Mode for Google AI Pro & Ultra subscribers globally. This is a global roll out and if you are a subscriber, you can access it by clicking the plus icon and then selecting the model.

Robby Stein added:

It’s our most intelligent workhorse model yet, delivering significant improvements from 3.7 Flash across software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning. Available today in AI Mode for Google AI Pro & Ultra subs around the world.Tap the (+) icon to select it in the model dropdown menu

Less than three weeks after 3.7, we're introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash.
