Where it sits on price
Of the 30 models in this catalog, Gemini 3.8 Flash ranks 10 by output price — cheaper than 20 and more expensive than 9. Cached input is billed at $0.075 per million tokens, about 10% of the standard input rate, so a high cache-hit rate changes the picture.
Price is not capability. A model that is half the price but needs two attempts, or that cannot hold your context, is the more expensive choice. Use these figures for budgeting and run your own evaluation for the quality decision.
