Model details

Step 3.7 Flash

Step 3.7 Flash is a sparse Mixture-of-Experts vision-language model positioned as a "Flash-tier" efficiency release rather than a maximum-intelligence frontier run. StepFun describes it as a high-efficiency model aimed at real-world agents, with the headline marketing claim of up to 400 tokens per second inference throughput, and a parameter count of roughly 196B parameters carried forward from the prior Flash generation. The model is multimodal at its core, accepting images across the full range of product UIs, documents, charts, and natural scenes, and is explicitly designed to translate visual understanding into action by writing code or invoking tools.

In practice, Step 3.7 Flash is tuned for agentic workflows rather than standalone chat. StepFun highlights reliable tool use and orchestration across terminals, browsers, Office tools, and search backends, with reduced drift and fewer broken tool calls on long-running sessions, plus compatibility with mainstream agent harnesses including Claude Code, KiloCode, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw. Internal agentic-coding benchmarks reported on the launch page place the model ahead of the previous Step 3.5 Flash on SWE-Bench Pro, framing the release as a measurable step up in coding-agent competence for a Flash-class budget. The combination of a 262K-token context window, low input pricing, multimodal grounding, and agent-harness support makes it a natural fit for teams building production assistants that need to read screens, call tools, and iterate quickly without paying frontier-tier rates.

StepFun (China)

CoverageBenchmark

In third-party benchmark rankings, Step 3.7 Flash holds a composite LLM Stats Score rank of 120, with a top-half placement in coding (99 of 267) and weaker showings in reasoning (117 of 363), math (150 of 327), and tool calling (141 of 194). The model ranks 32nd on Terminal-Bench 2.1 with a score of 0.59, 35th on SWE-B The aggregator notes that benchmark methodology specifics (harness, sampling, pass@k) are not disclosed by the publisher, so these figures should be treated as directional rather than definitive. Reported blended pricing is approximately $0.25 per million tokens, though this reflects marketplace data rather than StepFu

Step 3.7 Flash achieved top rankings on the Artificial Analysis benchmark in June 2026, securing first place in speed, cost-efficiency, and end-to-end performance while gaining significant traction on OpenRouter and Hugging Face. Output speed reached up to 416 tokens per second—one of the fastest among comparable model Multimodal understanding demonstrations showed the model identifying a dexterous robotic hand from its appearance, recognizing specific joint segments and fingertips, then autonomously searching for and compiling a comprehensive product specification table including manufacturer info, hardware configuration, load capac

Coverage

StepFun's Step 3.7 Flash is a sparse mixture-of-experts vision-language model with a 196 billion parameter language backbone and a 1.8 billion parameter vision encoder, activating roughly 11 billion parameters per token. According to coverage citing the Hugging Face model card, the model was released at the end of May Reported throughput reaches up to 400 tokens per second, a figure that still requires independent validation across different hardware and workloads. The active-compute bill, rather than the headline parameter count, is framed as the key practical consideration for developers and startups evaluating local deployment. T

CoverageRelease Notes

StepFun released Step 3.7 Flash, a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts vision-language model targeted at agentic coding and search workflows. According to MarkTechPost's coverage, the model pairs a 196B-parameter language backbone with a separate 1.8B-parameter ViT vision encoder for native image understanding, totaling 198B Step 3.7 Flash offers a 256k-token context window and up to 400 tokens/sec throughput, with the vision encoder injecting image representations into the language backbone rather than running end-to-end fused. The model is positioned for coding agents and search-style agentic use cases that benefit from the sparse-activa
