Ive been using 2.5 pro or flash a ton at work and the pro was not noticeably more accurate, but significantly slower, so I used flash way more. This is super exciting

looking at the results, it seems like flash should be the default now when using Gemini? the difference between flash thinking and pro thinking is not noticeable anymore, not to mention the speed increase from flash! The only noticeable one is MRCR (long context) benchmark which tbh I also found it to be pretty bad in gemini 3 preview since launching

Cannot wait for it to be available in GH Copilot

>"Gemini 3 Flash demonstrates that speed and scale don’t have to come at the cost of intelligence."

I am playing with Gemini 3 and the more I do the more I find it disappointing when discussing both tech and non-tech subject comparatively to ChatGPT. When it comes to non tech it seems like it was heavily indoctrinated and when it can not "prove" the point it abruptly cuts the conversation. When asked why, it says: formatting issues. Did it attend weasel courses?

It is fast. I grant it.

i might have missed the bandwagon on gemini but I never found the models to be reliable. now it seems they rank first in some hallucinations bench?

I just always thought the taste of gpt or claude models was more interesting in the professional context and their end user chat experience more polished.

are there obvious enterprise use cases where gemini models shine?

Does this imply we don't need as much compute for models/agents? How can any other AI model compete against that?

It's fast and good in Gemini CLI (even though Gemini CLI still lags far behind Claude as a harness).

Sadly not available in the free tier...

I'll take the hit to my 401k for this to all just go away. The comments here sound ridiculous.
