GOOGLE $GOOGL SET TO RELEASE GEMINI 3.8 FLASH AS SOON AS WEDNESDAY • • The model, known internally as "Skimaki," has significantly upgraded coding capabilities, per employees cited by WSJ. In head-to-head testing inside Jetski, Google's internal coding tool, engineers have preferred it to Anthropic's Opus model. • • Google has fallen months behind schedule on a new model from its "Pro" series, despite CEO Sundar Pichai saying in May that one would arrive "next month." Internal candidates for 3.5 Pro were scrapped because they were not sufficiently better than the Flash series. Gemini 4 has performed well on pretraining evaluations but still needs to complete posttraining. • • Flash models are smaller, cheaper, and faster to run than the largest models. DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis stepped aside last month, with Koray Kavukcuoglu succeeding him.

What is this event about?
This market will resolve according to the calendar date (ET) on which Google's next Gemini Flash model (3.8+) is made available to the general public.
A qualifying model must have a name or model identifier that includes "Gemini," be labeled "Flash" rather than "Flash-Lite," be positioned as Google's core general-purpose Gemini Flash model, and be designated as version 3.8 or higher, regardless of capitalization or surrounding prefixes, suffixes, dates, or descriptors. For example, a version 3.8 or higher named in the same manner as Gemini 3.6 Flash or Gemini 3.7 Flash would qualify, including a new whole-number generation such as Gemini 4 Flash, while models labeled "Flash-Lite" or which retain a version designation below 3.8, such as Gemini 3.7 Flash, including any rollout, promotion, or snapshot of it, will not qualify. Specialized modality variants, such as Gemini Flash Image, Gemini Flash-Lite Image, Gemini Omni Flash, or Flash TTS or Live models, will not qualify.
A qualifying model must be launched and publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must either be clearly defined and publicly announced by Google as accessible to the general public, or otherwise be made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled on the company's official website. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Google, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.
