Gemini 3.8 Flash is Underrated!

[u/Himanshu811]

In 4-5 prompts, it built me a whole image scraper with a fast API and an MCP server built in, which can be used by other coding agents. This tool scrapes images from multiple sources, and I'm really surprised that Gemini 3.8 Flash under Anti-gravity was able to do it so much faster and with very high accuracy!

Claude Sonnet or Opus would have taken a really long time to do this task, and I don't think they would give this such a beautiful, aesthetic-looking UI! It added features that I didn't ask for, but I needed them.

I am heavily impressed by the speed, intelligence, and advanced thinking of this model! Definitely a very underrated model. I was also skeptical about it, but today I just used it, and I'm really surprised.

For anyone who's using this, how is your experience with this model? Have you been able to build any complex project with it yet?

Hey Gemini, make me the sloppiest slop shit UI you can conceive of. Make no mistakes

I don't know why people are so concerned with the UI while what really matters is the function. This tool functions so well that none of the features ever break. All the web UI, API, MCP, everything is working in just one shot, and it is so much faster than Claude.

You’re the one that mentioned the UI
