>3.7 Flash is available through the end of the year at an introductory price 1 of $0.75/1M input tokens and $3.75/1M output tokens. This price combined with the enhanced model performance enables developers and customers to scale production-ready agents cost effectively.

Introductory pricing until December 2026 implies no significant Gemini Flash developments until the next year.

I think it's just meant to make it more competitive, Gemini has kinda been behind in everything except maybe multimodal. It's only 3 weeks after Flash 3.6, so if they really wanted to, they could probably do a 3.8 Flash before then.

Or a 3.7 Flash-Lite

Gemini 4 is apparently just around the corner so unless there's a 3 month delay... there's at least a new Flash update.

3.5 Pro was supposed to be around the corner two months ago. 4.0 Pro is some ways out as they recently stated they are seeing some promising early results from training. It didn't sound like a release is imminent.
