  "transcript": "Release: llm-gemini 0.34 New model gemini-3.8-flash for Gemini 3.8 Flash , with low, medium and high thinking levels. #146 Fixed async responses failing to record the resolved model version. Thanks, Charlie Tonneslan . #137 Google released Gemini 3.8 Flash (and 3.8 Flash Cyber, but that's available to \"trusted defenders\" only) today. Here are the pelicans for high, medium, and low. This is high: For comparison, here are the same pelicans generated using Gemini 3.7 Flash . Something I appreciate about Gemini Flash is that it's fast, cheap, and competent at things like HTML and JavaScript. I was messing around with it and prompted \"make me a cool thing in html\" and it built this , which is certainly a cool thing in HTML! Took 13 seconds, cost 1.8 cents. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. If you click through to the demo you'll see one more thing I built with Gemini 3.8 Flash. My markdown-svg-renderer tool lets me feed in the URL to a Gist with Markdown in and renders that markdown with fenced code blocks for SVG correctly rendered. I used Gemini 3.8 Flash (with my very basic llm-coding-agent coding agent plugin) to add support for HTML as well, so now any HTML blocks in the Markdown are rendered using a sandboxed iframe. Here's the transcript . Tags: ai , generative-ai , llms , llm , gemini , pelican-riding-a-bicycle , llm-release",
