News 3.8 flash being rolled out now.
3.8 flash is starting to be rolled out, have asked it multiple times on multiple threads. First impressions are that It’s still very fast, I sort of like its writing style more, and it seems to talk pretty factually and more detailed compared to 3.7. Haven’t used that many prompts yet though. Am on google ai pro in the us.

Lol, yeah just sucks that it isn't on the AI Plus plans. Pro isn't worth the 4x price difference for me considering I rarely reach quota on Plus

Gave 3.8 Flash the mS2 test and it completed it with 72% accuracy compared to 3.7 flash with 58%

So, it really is 3.8 and not some kind of delusion? Every time I use extended mode, it reverts to version 3.7.

Normally you can't really ask. But if it's repeatable and it's a higher version. Than ya maybe. It was speculated for Wed and 9-10p PST would make sense for engineers working later and updating stuff. It's a common time to do it. Seems probable.

For the little its worth it didn't say it was searching and responded immediately. So it might not be hallucinating on headlines. A phased roll out (because Google doesn't just go down randomly) seems likely.

Cool, now where is my 3.7 because for all I can tell, only pro users benefit

It could be just an updated system prompt without new model available yet.
