Gemini 3.7 Flash vs Kimi K3
Values come from Gemini 3.7 Flash and Kimi K3, where each is cited to its source. This page states no benchmark result and ranks neither model — it puts two published specifications next to each other. Where a lab has not published a figure, the row says so rather than guessing.

What actually differs
- Context window
- Identical — both accept 1M tokens, so context length is not a reason to pick either.
- Input price
- Gemini 3.7 Flash at $0.75/M against $3/M — 4.0× cheaper to feed. Standard rates: one of these labs also quotes a lower cached-input tier, which applies only when a prefix is reused — see the full spec below.
- Output price
- Gemini 3.7 Flash at $3.75/M against $15/M — 4.0× cheaper to generate. Output dominates the bill on most agentic workloads, where the model writes far more than it reads.
- Weights
- Kimi K3 publishes weights (Modified MIT (commercial use permitted; weights publicly downloadable)); Gemini 3.7 Flash is API-only. That decides self-hosting, air-gapped deployment and fine-tuning before any capability question does.
- Recency
- Gemini 3.7 Flash shipped 28 days after Kimi K3 (2026-08-13 vs 2026-07-16).
