Model Card
Veo 3.1 Lite is Google DeepMind's most cost-effective video generation model, built for high-volume applications where per-clip cost is a primary concern. It generates video at the same speed as Veo 3.1 Fast but at less than half the price — starting at $0.05 per second for 720p.
The model supports text-to-video and image-to-video with 720p and 1080p output in landscape (16:9) or portrait (9:16), at configurable durations of 4, 6, or 8 seconds. It does not support 4K output, scene extension, or native audio generation — clips are silent by default.
Veo 3.1 Lite is ideal for developers building batch video pipelines, social media automation, or interactive tools where cost per generation matters most and audio can be added in post-production.

Gemini 3.8 Flash
Gemini 3.8 Flash is Google's workhorse Flash-tier model, released September 2, 2026, three weeks after Gemini 3.7 Flash. It's built for long-horizon software engineering, agentic workflows, and multi-step reasoning in professional domains. Google reports it outperforms 3.7 Flash and other frontier models on DeepSWE v1.1 for autonomous engineering tasks, on Vals Finance Agent V2, and on Harvey's Legal Agent Benchmark. It scores 54.9% on HLE-Verified, and completes more than three times as many tasks as 3.7 Flash in Google's long-running, document-heavy workflow evaluations. It accepts text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window and 64K token output limit, supports function calling and iterative tool use, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. Priced at $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens through 2026, it targets teams running coding agents or document-heavy enterprise workflows.
ChatGemini 3.7 Flash
Gemini 3.7 Flash is Google's workhorse Flash-tier model, released August 13, 2026, three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash. It's built for coding and agentic workflows, targeting software engineering, web development, and knowledge-dense domains like finance and law. Google reports gains over Gemini 3.6 Flash on several benchmarks. DeepSWE v1.1 rose from 49.0% to 65.3%, FrontierCode 1.1 from 34.4% to 43.6%, and AutomationBench from 17.0% to 30.4%. On FrontierCode 1.1 it scores above Claude Sonnet 5 (42.7%) and GPT-5.6 Terra (41.3%), though GPT-5.6 Terra edges it out on Terminal-bench 2.1 (87.4% vs 85.8%). It accepts text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window and 64K token output limit. It supports function calling, search as a tool, and computer use, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. It's priced at roughly half of Gemini 3.6 Flash's rate, fitting teams running coding agents or high-volume document processing.
ChatGemini Robotics ER 2 Preview
Gemini Robotics ER 2 Preview is Google's embodied reasoning model for robotics, available through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. It takes video, images, audio and text, reasons about a physical scene, plans multi-step tasks, and hands actions off to a vision-language-action model, a robotics API, or developer-defined tools through function calling. Google says it can plan its next step while a robot is moving, works with the Gemini Live API, and can monitor a task in video, detect failures and retry individual steps. It also supports multi-robot coordination. In Google's reported tests it reached 91.3% accuracy at identifying when a key event occurred in a video (mean error 0.96 seconds) and 57.4% on progress classification. It is meant for developers building robot planning, success detection and scene understanding on top of the Gemini API.
