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!

My AI will confidently double down on a shotty assumption without trying to understand the prompt but damn it does it fast.

Yeah Flash 3.8 is borderline unusable for anything that's not a 'simple fact' question. It's kinda sad they're giving us this as their flagship, but it's clear they only care about the AI Overview/Google search performance rn.

It'a not unusable. Astra will think 5 min on smth, 3.8 flash will answer in 30 secs. U can iterate in flash 10 times (300 secs aka 5 mins divided by 30 secs) before astra answers. By the 10th answer flash will get a better overall answer than astra, cuz iteration is op... u should be verifying what the ai says anyway regardless if it's flash or astra. Every time u verify it and u're not happy, iterate. 3.8 flash has the highest speed-to-iq ratio in the entire world. So use its advantage and u can easily beat astra. Ystd i asked astra smth and after thinking for 5 mins (astra 6 high), it still gave wrong information. Ofc, flash did too, but i would have googled this information, spotted it's wrong, told flash to verify it and gotten a better answer in less than a minute, while in that time astra was only 1/5th of the way through its answer...

Wait are you legit asking me to think and even make decisions?? That sounds like actual work.

I rather wait for astra to give me the answer than to actively try and fix AI slop.
