OneInfer availability

Gemini 3.8 Flash is live on OneInfer via OpenRouter under google/gemini-3.8-flash. Point the OpenAI-compatible base URL at https://api.oneinfer.ai/v1/ula and pass your OneInfer API key in the Authorization header. The request body is unchanged from any other chat-completions call; only the base URL and the model string differ.

Day-zero third-party support

LiteLLM (docs.litellm.ai/blog/gemini_3_8_flash), Vercel AI Gateway, OpenRouter, AIHubMix and LLM Gateway all published Gemini 3.8 Flash support on 2 September 2026. LiteLLM and Vercel both hold first-page Google positions with their changelog posts. OneInfer's route is the OpenRouter path; if you need an OpenAI-compatible endpoint today, that is the working route.
