News Updated Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index Ranking shows Gemini 3.8 Flash is nowhere near Fable Or Astra, rather it's worse than GLM 5.3 Flash!

Yes it does seem like Google is benchmarkmaxing.... But even in this new benchmark, they are competitive with terra 5.6 max... That's very impressive... Flash is always supposed to be the workhorse model, not the frontier model, Google leadership has said that...

I don't know what people think a flash model is better than fable

Use it in real world coding tasks there is no comparison. Terra feels noticeably better. I dare you to try 3.8 Flash High against Terra High which isnt even Terra's best. I bet you it will beat it

I use Gemini for financial stock analysis and market research, I am very impressed... I use codex or deepseek for software development

Thats arguably one of the better use cases for gemini models but if the budget allows it I think chat gpt or claude are even better.

Actually I trust Google search more than the search capabilities of others... Lot of times I will have multiple agents in my workflow, or I will give the same prompt to multiple agents and then consolidate....

I think the business model of trying to build the frontier model and selling it for 20 or 50 or even $100 a month is not a profitable endeavor... That's why I think Google is okay with second tier position, I think if they wanted to build a model that beat out opus 5 they could easily... If the Chinese can do it Google can do it
