Gemini 3.7 Flash API
google/gemini-3.7-flash is Google's current Flash id in the NextModel catalog: $1.50 per million input tokens, $7.50 per million output tokens, $0.15 per million cache hits, and a 1,000,000 token context window. One integration fact decides most adoption choices: the catalog lists this id on the gemini API surface only, not on the OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint, so OpenAI SDK code must move to the Gemini request shape or pick a different id. The row lists Thinking, Function Calling, and Vision as capabilities. Against google/gemini-3.5-flash at $1.50 / $9.00, the input rate is identical and the output rate is $1.50 per million cheaper. No first-party benchmark scores or latency band are published for this id.

Gemini 3.7 Flash via NextModel: 1M-token context; $1.50 / 1M tokens in / $7.50 / 1M tokens out per 1M tokens. Capabilities: streaming, tool, json.
Best use cases
- Codebases that already speak the Gemini generateContent shape and want 3.7 Flash's listed Thinking, Function Calling, and Vision capabilities at $1.50 / $7.50.
- Output-heavy Gemini work: the $7.50 output rate undercuts gemini-3.5-flash's listed $9.00 while input stays $1.50.
- Repeated-context jobs — long instructions or recurring document sets — that can earn the listed $0.15 per million cache-hit rate.
When not to use
- OpenAI SDK chat completions code you will not adapt: this id is not served on that surface, and the mismatch surfaces at request time, not at signup.
- Absolute cost-floor traffic: deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash lists $0.14 / $0.28 per million tokens, roughly a tenth of this id's rates on both axes.
- Pipelines that require Streaming or Structured Outputs entries on the catalog row: this id lists Thinking, Function Calling, and Vision only.

-H "Authorization: Bearer $NEXTMODEL_API_KEY" \
-d '{"model":"google/gemini-3.7-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Reply with OK."}]}'Switching models only changes the model field.

FAQ
Gemini 3.7 Flash API questions
What model id do I send for Gemini 3.7 Flash?
Send google/gemini-3.7-flash to the Gemini surface under https://api.nextmodel.app/v1/gemini. The catalog lists this id on the gemini API only — it is not available on the OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint, so OpenAI SDK calls need the Gemini request shape instead.
What does the catalog list for price and context?
$1.50 per million input tokens, $7.50 per million output tokens, and $0.15 per million cache hits. Context window: 1,000,000 tokens.
What should I treat as unverified?
Latency band and first-party benchmark scores are unpublished for this id. The Thinking, Function Calling, and Vision entries come from the catalog row, and the catalog publishes no quality scores behind them.
