title: "Get Gemini 3.8 Flash With 75% Off"
description: "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."

# Get Gemini 3.8 Flash With 75% Off

**Type:** Announcement

## 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.

## Context

The release targets multi-step engineering work that requires exploration, retries, testing, and verification rather than a one-shot answer. The source contrasts this workload with minor fixes and small refactorings, for which Gemini 3.7 Flash remains available.

## Approach / What changed

Gemini 3.8 Flash is offered through Junie’s IDE plugin and CLI. Its workflow breaks goals into subtasks, explores directories, writes scripts to reproduce bugs, invokes tools to run tests, retries unsuccessful code, and checks changes before completion. The introductory offer reduces its price by 75% for a limited time.

## Takeaways

- Gemini 3.8 Flash uses an iterative workflow that spends more tokens per task on exploration, retries, testing, and verification.
- The source says Google’s DeepSWE v1.1 testing found 3.8 Flash outperforming most larger frontier models while costing significantly less, but gives no specific scores.
- Gemini 3.7 Flash remains the cheaper per-token option for minor fixes and small refactorings that do not need 3.8 Flash’s additional diligence.
