    Gemini 3.7 Flash, read from Google's own numbers

    Google shipped it on August 13, 2026, 23 days after Gemini 3.6 Flash, with large gains on coding and agent benchmarks and an introductory price it labels as such. All of that holds. Four things are visible only if you open the model card instead of the launch post, and one of them is a score that went down.

    Gemini Spark vs Claude's browser toolset: whose account, whose risk

    Both drive a web browser, both stop before the step that cannot be undone, and their lists of stopping points are nearly the same. The difference is what each assumes about the session it runs in: one is built on the accounts you are already signed into, the other tells you to give it a browser with no credentials in it. That single assumption decides which of the two belongs anywhere near your work.

    Best cheap models for high-volume work, priced per thousand calls

    Six models, one task, one number: what a thousand calls cost when each sends 4,000 tokens in and gets 800 back. The cheapest row is $1.76 and the most expensive is $16.00, a nine-fold spread rather than the hundred-fold spread the category implies. Two things move the ranking more than the headline price does, and one of them has a date on it.
