# Google Launches Gemini 3.7 Flash at Half the Previous Price

> Google pushed out Gemini 3.7 Flash on August 13, and the headline is the price: 0.75 dollars per million input tokens and 3.75 dollars per million output, a 50 percent introductory discount that runs through December 31. On January 1 those rates double to 1.50 and 7.50, so the cheap window is deliberately temporary, a way to pull developers onto the new model while the discount lasts. The model is aimed squarely at coding and agentic workflows, the kind of high-volume, many-call jobs where token cost dominates the bill. That focus tells you where Google thinks the money is, and the timing is pointed too, since the release lands just three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash and undercuts OpenAI's frontier pricing directly. What matters here is the pace of the race to the bottom on inference cost. When a major lab is cutting its fast model in half and refreshing it every few weeks, the pressure flows straight to everyone building on these APIs, and to rivals who now have to answer.
