Gemini 3.8 Flash, Google’s latest Flash model, is now available in GitHub Copilot.

In our early testing, Gemini 3.8 Flash performed strongly on complex terminal-based coding tasks and demonstrated rigorous validation and persistent recovery from actionable failures.

This model is billed at introductory provider pricing under usage-based billing through December 31, 2026. See pricing for GitHub Copilot models and requests for details.
