Google DeepMind readies coding-focused Gemini 3.8 Flash
The Wall Street Journal reported that Google DeepMind is preparing to publicly release Gemini 3.8 Flash, internally code-named Skimaki, as soon as September 2, 2026, with a focus on narrowing the coding gap with rivals. The model has reportedly completed internal testing on Google's Jetski developer platform, where engineers preferred it to Anthropic's Claude Opus on coding tasks, and follows Gemini 3.7 Flash, which shipped August 13, 2026.
