Gemini 3.7 Flash controls, multimodal, and tool composition evidence
1. 3.7 Flash thinking-configuration canary
Formula: Accepted = identity pinned ∧ requested controls accepted ∧ effective response fields present; missing evidence is Unavailable.
Provenance: Frozen gemini-3-7-flash fixture; prompt hash, endpoint, date, usage, latency, retry, bill, and grader fields are retained. Verified 2026-08-27.
First-party source: Google Gemini 3.7 Flash model card
| Fixture | Frozen inputs | Observation | Decision boundary | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| identity / minimum / invalid controls | exact model or artifact; endpoint/surface; region/protocol; prompt hash; submitted controls | Effective identity and accepted fields recorded; unsupported control Unavailable — first-party acceptance response is absent | Do not transfer behavior from a successor, alias, consumer surface, or another snapshot. | Unavailable — evidence field is absent |
| boundary / alias / region | below/at/above sourced limit; alias versus snapshot; exact input ordering; injected event | Alias or region row remains Unavailable — resolution or regional entitlement is not published | A model card, context limit, or feature name cannot close this boundary by itself. | Unavailable — parity or state evidence is absent |
| accepted production shape | same frozen fixture; result/grader; usage; latency; retry; bill; date 2026-08-27 | Production recommendation Unavailable — matched control and lifecycle evidence is incomplete | No ranking, price, quality, availability, or parity claim renders while its field is open. | Unavailable — required field is unavailable |
2. Time-aligned multimodal evidence ledger
Formula: Fixture result = required checks passed / required checks; a scenario result is not a universal model verdict.
Provenance: Frozen gemini-3-7-flash fixture; prompt hash, endpoint, date, usage, latency, retry, bill, and grader fields are retained. Verified 2026-08-27.
First-party source: Google Gemini 3.7 Flash model card
| Fixture | Frozen inputs | Observation | Decision boundary | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| matched task / short horizon | exact model or artifact; endpoint/surface; region/protocol; prompt hash; submitted controls | Required result check recorded; usage and latency Unavailable — replay export is absent | Do not transfer behavior from a successor, alias, consumer surface, or another snapshot. | Unavailable — evidence field is absent |
| failure injection / checkpoint | below/at/above sourced limit; alias versus snapshot; exact input ordering; injected event | Checkpoint and resumed state recorded; duplicate side effects Unavailable — side-effect ledger is absent | A model card, context limit, or feature name cannot close this boundary by itself. | Unavailable — parity or state evidence is absent |
| accepted fixture / bill | same frozen fixture; result/grader; usage; latency; retry; bill; date 2026-08-27 | Accepted result and exact grader Unavailable — matched invoice is not joined | No ranking, price, quality, availability, or parity claim renders while its field is open. | Unavailable — required field is unavailable |
3. Built-in-tool composition state machine
Formula: Architecture pass = exact identity + admitted inputs + state continuity + accepted output; advertised capacity is not usable memory.
Provenance: Frozen gemini-3-7-flash fixture; prompt hash, endpoint, date, usage, latency, retry, bill, and grader fields are retained. Verified 2026-08-27.
First-party source: Google Gemini 3.7 Flash model card
| Fixture | Frozen inputs | Observation | Decision boundary | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| baseline resend | exact model or artifact; endpoint/surface; region/protocol; prompt hash; submitted controls | Admitted context and output check recorded; cache boundary Unavailable — cache counterfactual is absent | Do not transfer behavior from a successor, alias, consumer surface, or another snapshot. | Unavailable — evidence field is absent |
| architecture variant | below/at/above sourced limit; alias versus snapshot; exact input ordering; injected event | Variant comparison has exact hashes; remaining window and retry Unavailable — provider state counters are absent | A model card, context limit, or feature name cannot close this boundary by itself. | Unavailable — parity or state evidence is absent |
| rollback / non-fit shape | same frozen fixture; result/grader; usage; latency; retry; bill; date 2026-08-27 | Rollback threshold and non-fit decision Unavailable — measured canary window is absent | No ranking, price, quality, availability, or parity claim renders while its field is open. | Unavailable — required field is unavailable |
Decision boundary: unresolved identity, control, usage, quality, parity, tariff, or lifecycle fields remain Unavailable; they never become zero, supported, passing, or equivalent.
