Google reportedly set to release Gemini 3.8 Flash this week

Google $GOOGL is reportedly preparing to release Gemini 3.8 Flash as soon as Wednesday, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Internal testers reportedly say the model's coding capabilities now compete with leading alternatives, strengthening Google's position in the increasingly competitive AI coding market.
