feat(agent-usage): price gemini-3.8-flash - #152
Conversation
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.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 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

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.

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_pricestill covers no Gemini id. I could not establish which agent emitsgemini-*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.
