Gemini 3.8 Flash: score and benchmark evidence

Historical release · · Google

104.0 points · Rank 9 among 19 ranked models · Stability range 78–131.3 points.

Rank follows the point estimate; it does not establish statistically significant superiority. The scale is anchored at mean 100, SD 15 in the frozen calibration cohort, not human IQ or a percentage.

One capability score combines evidence across seven equally weighted domains. Related benchmark variants share a family budget, and influence from one evaluator is capped.

Release tli-2026-v5.0-2026-09-06. Methodology and limitations for this release.

This page preserves historical evidence. See the current model record.

Capability domains

Domain scores use calibration-cohort standard-deviation units. Unmeasured domains are shown as unavailable, not zero.

Published benchmark evidence

26 results contribute to this score, from 52 collected results and 26 contributing benchmark families. Counts are not independent sample sizes.

Only results with a matched source record, metric and documented configuration contribute. Developer-reported results are eligible when their configuration is clear. Unresolved records remain in the database with their exclusion reason. Archived reviews and live source checks are labelled separately.

The interval reflects limited evidence, missing domains, correlated benchmark families and frozen calibration uncertainty under the scoring assumptions. It is not a promise that future scores will fall inside it 95% of the time. New conflicting evidence can widen it.

Reporting sensitivity: ±4.7 points. Sensitivity to selectively published results. This stress range is not a confidence interval or a probability statement.
