WHY {model}
Production-grade image capabilities
What makes Gemini 3.8 Flash a strong choice for high-fidelity, text-aware image workflows.
Flash-tier agentic work
Use Gemini 3.8 Flash for long-running software tasks, autonomous agents, and multi-step enterprise workflows that need more reasoning depth than a lightweight chat model.
Broad multimodal input
The live PixMind route accepts text, images, audio, video, and PDF inputs and returns text, so one model can analyze mixed project material.
Large working context
Google publishes a 1,048,576-token input limit and up to 65,536 output tokens for repository-scale analysis, document synthesis, and extended agent sessions.
Tools, coding, and streaming
The PixMind route exposes reasoning, tool use, coding, and incremental output for interactive developer products and backend automations.

FAQ
Gemini 3.8 Flash API questions
What is Gemini 3.8 Flash best suited for?+
Choose it for software engineering, long-horizon agents, mixed-media analysis, and multi-step workflows that need strong reasoning while staying in the Flash tier.
What can I send to Gemini 3.8 Flash through PixMind?+
The live route supports text, image, audio, video, and PDF input with text output. Use the capability list and request builder on this page to match your payload to the currently exposed PixMind controls.
What model ID should I use for the Gemini 3.8 Flash API?+
Use gemini-3.8-flash in the model field. This is the stable PixMind route identifier shown in the playground request JSON.
Which endpoint does the Gemini 3.8 Flash API use?+
Send POST requests to /v1/chat/completions. Keep your API key on your server and pass it as a Bearer token.
Is the playground using a real API request?+
Yes. When you click Run model, PixMind forwards the displayed payload with the API key you entered. A successful request may create a paid task.
Does PixMind save the API key entered here?+
No. The playground keeps the key only in component memory and sends it for the current request; it is not written to browser storage.
Is API pricing the same as PixMind Studio pricing?+
No. API usage resolves through the apiPlatform pricing role and a separate pay-as-you-go ledger. Studio pricing includes the creation interface and product workflow services.
Why can the final price differ from the starting price?+
The entry price reflects the configuration displayed on this page. Resolution, duration, quality, audio, references, and output count can affect the final task price.
How do I receive a finished image or video?+
Generation routes can return an asynchronous task. Save its ID and query the task endpoint until the status is succeeded, failed, or cancelled.
Can I use the same integration for other PixMind models?+
Yes. Models in the same workload family share the generation contract, so switching usually means changing the model ID and supported parameters.
