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.

Encrypting the instruction walks it straight past the guardrail

Researchers at Adversa hid a prompt injection as ciphertext with the key next to it. Grok decrypted it in its own sandbox and sent the user's name, location, and chat history to an attacker's server, without a warning and without asking.

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.

Gemini Spark takes over desktop Chrome

Google's agent can now drive the desktop version of Chrome, using accounts you are already signed in to and passwords saved in the browser. It books property viewings, prepares flight searches, and fills in forms, handing the task back to the user to finalize a payment, accept terms, or create an account. This is the same pattern that has settled in with Claude and the rest: the agent does everything up to the step that cannot be undone, and a person confirms that step.
