Summary

  • Adds a gemini-3.8-flash row at 0.75 / 3.75 / 0.075. Those are the same three numbers as gemini-3.7-flash, which makes the row look redundant and is exactly why it is not: rate_for matches by substring, and no existing key is a substring of gemini-3.8-flash, so without a line of its own the model resolves to no price and its tokens cost zero.
  • That is the claude-fable-5-1 fault inverted. An inherited rate overstated cache reads fourfold and got queried; an absent one understates the whole bill while every row on screen looks ordinary.
  • The prices are introductory and the vendor dates their own end: input, output and cached input all double on 1 January 2027 (1.50 / 7.50 / 0.15). The successors are recorded in wiki/model-prices.md rather than in the table, on the same call as gpt-5.6-sol's pre-promotion figures — LIST_RATES carries what the meter bills today, and the row moves on the day rather than being rediscovered after a month of half-price totals.
  • Storage-based context caching ($0.50 per million tokens per hour, doubling on the same date) stays uncarried, for the reason the existing Google note gives: it is not a per-request cache write, and pricing it as one would invent a number.
  • No gemini-3.8-flash-lite and no gemini-3.8-pro — 3.8 ships as one model. Checked against the pricing page and recorded in the wiki so it is not re-checked.
  • LIST_RATES_AS_OF moves to 3 Sep 2026; wiki and widget README reconciled and dated.

Test plan

  • new a_new_gemini_row_is_priced_rather_than_silently_free pins the row, 3.7 alongside it, and that an unknown Gemini id stays unpriced rather than inheriting a neighbour
  • confirmed the test fails when the row is deleted — it is not green by accident
  • cargo test green from the root (22/22 groups), run against the committed tree with unrelated working-tree changes stashed
  • release build clean

Notes for the reviewer

Prices were taken from Google's published pricing page during this session, not from model memory — the widget's founding rule is that every number on screen is real.

One gap left open deliberately: every_model_string_an_agent_writes_down_finds_a_price still covers no Gemini id. I could not establish which agent emits gemini-* API ids — Antigravity records no token counts at all (antigravity.rs:19), and this machine's Cursor data has none — so adding one there would assert something unverified. Worth its own issue.

Google's 3.8 Flash ships as one model - no -lite, no -pro, checked against
the pricing page - at 0.75 / 3.75 / 0.075, the same three numbers as 3.7
Flash. That identity is what makes the row look redundant and is exactly
why it is not: rate_for matches by substring, and no existing key is a
substring of "gemini-3.8-flash", so without a line of its own the model
resolves to no price at all and its tokens cost zero.

That is the fable-5-1 fault inverted. An inherited rate overstated cache
reads fourfold and got queried; an absent one understates the whole bill
while every row on screen looks perfectly ordinary.

The prices are introductory and the vendor dates their own end: input,
output and cached input all double on 1 January 2027. The successors are
recorded in wiki/model-prices.md rather than here, on the same call as
gpt-5.6-sol's pre-promotion figures - the table carries what the meter
bills today, and the row can be moved on the day rather than rediscovered
after a month of half-price totals. Storage-based context caching, which
doubles on the same date, stays uncarried for the reason the Google note
already gives: it is not a per-request cache write.

a_new_gemini_row_is_priced_rather_than_silently_free pins the row, and was
checked by deleting it.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added pricing support for Google’s gemini-3.8-flash, including input, output and cache-read rates.
    • Added introductory rates, with scheduled price increases from 1 January 2027.
    • Explicitly kept gemini-3.8-flash-lite and other unpublished Gemini variants unpriced.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the published rate-card date to 3 September 2026.
    • Documented excluded storage-based caching and unavailable model variants.

Walkthrough

The widget rate card now prices gemini-3.8-flash at introductory rates and excludes gemini-3.8-flash-lite. Tests verify model matching. The README and wiki record the rates, collection date, scheduled increase, caching scope, and unavailable variants.

Changes

Gemini pricing update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rate card and test coverage
widgets/src/widgets/agent-usage/main.rs
The rate card date changed to 3 September 2026. gemini-3.8-flash now has input, output, and cache-read rates. gemini-3.8-flash-lite remains unpriced. Tests verify the new entry, retain gemini-3.7-flash pricing, and reject unpublished Gemini models.
Pricing documentation
widgets/src/widgets/agent-usage/README.md, wiki/model-prices.md
The documentation records the new rates, the 1 January 2027 increase, excluded storage-based caching, absent variants, and the updated collection date.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 93b49

Gemini 3.8 Flash usage is now priced and the Lite variant remains unpriced, but the general wiki guidance still describes a different model-matching rule than the implementation. This is a bounded documentation risk that could cause future pricing maintenance mistakes.

Poem

A rabbit checks the rate-card glow
New Gemini prices now show
Lite stays outside the matching trail
The wiki records each pricing detail
Carrots celebrate the verified flow

Greptile Summary

Adds the current introductory price for gemini-3.8-flash so exact and suffixed occurrences can be metered instead of appearing unpriced.

  • Adds input, output, and cached-input rates to the built-in catalogue.
  • Adds regression coverage for the new model, the existing 3.7 entry, and an unknown Gemini identifier.
  • Reconciles the widget documentation and pricing reference, including the scheduled 2027 price change.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable current defects identified.

The new exact catalogue entry is reachable through the existing longest-substring matcher, uses the supported token categories, preserves configured-rate precedence, and is covered by focused regression tests.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
widgets/src/widgets/agent-usage/main.rs Adds the Gemini 3.8 Flash catalogue entry, advances the catalogue date, and tests matching and rate values; no current correctness issue identified.
widgets/src/widgets/agent-usage/README.md Documents why the otherwise redundant-looking model row is required by substring matching.
wiki/model-prices.md Records current and future Gemini 3.8 Flash prices and reconciles the pricing date.

I attached to PR #152 and fixed the one real review finding. CodeRabbit was right that rate_for matches by substring, so the new gemini-3.8-flash row would have priced unpublished gemini-3.8-flash-lite. That id is now in NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE, with a regression test that fails if the row is deleted. Greptile had missed it.

The follow-up CodeRabbit comment is a docs nit: the wiki’s general rule still says “longest prefix,” which is the house term used in the README, NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE, and making-a-widget.md. Prefix and substring agree on this bug anyway. I kept that finding rather than start another review round.

Required checks on 93b492c are green. Merge is still BLOCKED on CodeRabbit’s CHANGES_REQUESTED for that wording. Runtime behaviour is correct: 3.8-flash is priced, 3.8-flash-lite is unpriced. Good to merge on substance — pausing here, wiiiimm (@wiiiimm).

rate_for matches by substring, so the new gemini-3.8-flash row would
meter gemini-3.8-flash-lite at flash rates. 3.8 ships as one model;
naming the unpublished id in NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE is the same guard Spark
already has.

Use the runtime matching terminology consistently.

The general rule on Lines 25-27 still says that rates use longest-prefix matching. rate_for uses substring matching, and this new section uses the correct substring terminology. Update the general rule so future rate rows and exclusions follow the actual matching contract.

Round 2 triage on 93b492c.

Finding Reviewer Severity Verdict Note
gemini-3.8-flash-lite inherits flash rates via substring CodeRabbit Major Fixed 93b492c — named in NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE; the new assertion fails if that row is deleted
Wiki general rule still says “longest prefix” CodeRabbit Minor Kept (diminishing returns) House term across this wiki, the widget README, NO_PUBLISHED_PRICE, and making-a-widget.md. The 3.8 section already says substring for contains. Changing only the general rule would desync the rest; changing all of them is a terminology sweep this pricing PR should not start. Prefix and substring agree on this bug anyway: gemini-3.8-flash is a prefix of the unpublished lite id.
Greptile 5/5, no findings Greptile Kept Missed the lite inherit; CodeRabbit was right. Reviewed 70f470f only (on-open). Not re-triggered.
Codex completed, no findings Codex Kept Reviewed 70f470f. No 👍 on the summary comment. Not re-triggered.

Required checks on 93b492c: lint, test, macos, CodeQL, Analyze — pass. CodeRabbit check: Review completed (not rate-limited). Local cargo test green; the lite assertion is not green by accident.

mergeStateStatus is BLOCKED on CodeRabbit’s CHANGES_REQUESTED for the prefix/substring wording. Runtime behaviour is correct: gemini-3.8-flash is priced, gemini-3.8-flash-lite is unpriced.
