Episode Details

Google just put Gemini 3.7 Flash on sale until New Year's. Then the cheap card doubles.

Seventy-five cents in. Three seventy-five out. Per million tokens. Through December 31. January 1 those rates become $1.50 in and $7.50 out. Same model. Same work. Twice the money. Gemini Spark on Google AI Pro and Ultra already switched to this model.

The January 1 double is the token card — the Gemini API bill or AI Studio. Spark switching models is not a new invoice. Do not treat the Pro or Ultra plan like a token meter. If you pay tokens, write New Year's on the shop calendar. Not a resolution. A rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the New Year's double raise my Google AI Pro or Ultra plan?
No. The January 1 double is input and output on the API. That is AI Studio. That is a developer bill. Spark switching to 3.7 Flash is not a new invoice. The plan is the plan.

What happens on January 1 — does the model walk, or does it just get expensive?
The intro price expires. The model stays. Google did not say they are pulling 3.7 Flash. They said the rate changes. December 31 the intro dies. January 1 it is $1.50 in and $7.50 out.

Did the free Gemini app get 3.7 Flash too?
Spark is Pro and Ultra, in over 160 countries, and it started using 3.7 Flash on launch day. Do not put 3.7 Flash on a free login Google did not name. If you are not on that plan, do not assume you got the sale.
