what about input?
(Maybe I missed it)
And was 2M tokens IIRC after release.
There were also many rumors that Gemini 4 was going back to 2M. Just seems odd not to say what it is.
With GitHub Copilot pricing, I have found no practical reason to use Gemini 3.8 Flash vs GPT 5.6 Luna. And now I'll probably find no reason to use Gemini 4 when GPT 6.1 Sol is essentially as good and a lot cheaper.
I only use gemini, and while I don't use it for actually writing up code, I use it to help me troibleshoot my logic and help find bugs. Its easily the best model I have tried. And yes I am talking about 3.1 pro.
Also I have found gemini the only model to be the least likely to douse me in flattery, and will follow my pre built instructions to never output anything unless it can be directly sourced, pretty well. Chatgpt i tried for a bit and it was by far the worst thing I have ever used. I can understand why people develop psychosis when prompting chatgpt because it is disgustingly scyophantic to the point I was grossed out and felt like I just got done with some other type of self gratification.
Anyway, death to AI. All those who use, create, facilitate, or even just sit by and do nothing in the face of AI will perish in Hell.
Then I tried Flash 3.8 for different tasks like OCR and others, and while in their benchmarks it crashes Flash 3, in my experiments I didn't notice much difference, often even Flash 3 performed better.
I hope Gemini 4 Argon is a real step up from that but we'll see once they release it. I'm rooting for Google and it's about time they deliver frontier intelligence, not just competitive prices.
Sounds like a 90s early morning TV show.
I'm gonna pay attention to this once it ships.
Cant wait for this AI hype to be over, so I can Terence this shizz as old school too
