To install or upgrade, move from Gemini 3.6 Flash to Gemini 3.7 Flash. Replace Gemini 3.6 Flash with Gemini 3.7 Flash in every place the previous model is still selected. Finish the switch so new work uses Gemini 3.7 Flash instead of Gemini 3.6 Flash.

Market and competitive context

A gotcha is the short gap between releases. Gemini 3.6 Flash debuted only three weeks ago, so a recent move to that model can be mistaken for the current one. Verify the selected model is Gemini 3.7 Flash, not Gemini 3.6 Flash. Confirm the name matches the release Google announced, the one Ars Technica reported as having substantial improvements.
