Get Gemini 3.8 Flash With 75% Off

Summary

Google’s Gemini 3.8 Flash is now available in Junie’s IDE plugin and Junie CLI, accompanied by a limited-time 75% introductory discount. The model targets long, multi-step engineering tasks: it spends more tokens exploring directories, retrying failed code, writing bug-reproduction scripts, running tests through tool calls, and checking changes before completion. Google’s DeepSWE v1.1 testing is described as showing 3.8 Flash outperforming most larger frontier models at significantly lower cost, although the source does not provide specific scores. Gemini 3.7 Flash remains available for minor fixes and small refactorings, where its lower per-token cost may be preferable, while 3.8 Flash can be selected from the model picker without setup or a waitlist.
