Gemini 3.7 Flash rolls out in Google AI Mode

Q: Which Gemini model now powers Google's AI Mode?

Gemini 3.7 Flash is rolling out today in AI Mode for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in English, per Search Engine Land and Search Engine Journal.

Google is rolling out Gemini 3.7 Flash in AI Mode for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in English, Google’s Robby Stein said, per Search Engine Land and Search Engine Journal. The model arrives a day after its general release and about three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash, reaching AI Pro/Ultra subscribers first via the model picker; free-tier access is not yet scheduled.

Why it matters: The model running under AI Mode just changed again, which means visibility and citation studies measured against the prior version are already dated.
