Gemini 3.7 Flash: half the price and markedly better on code

Google released Gemini 3.7 Flash on August 13, just three weeks after 3.6. The gain on coding benchmarks is large: the DeepSWE v1.1 score rises from 49.0% to 65.3%, and FrontierCode 1.1 from 34.4% to 43.6%. Introductory pricing, in force through the end of 2026, is $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens — half what its predecessor launched at. The model is available through the Gemini API, in AI Studio, Android Studio, and Antigravity, and in Spark for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

How it fits the wider picture This is cheap labor for code. Against the price of Opus 5 the difference is an order of magnitude, which explains why mixed setups keep appearing: a cheap model does the mechanical part of the job, and a strong model makes the decisions.
