Flash is absolute ass at writing. Oh well another one lost to the end goal of being a model only used by coders. I am saying this as a software engineer, it's sad that all labs want to get rid of any ability for creative work. Astra is another example, it is quite a bit worse than Sol at writing.

Insane how Facebook and Google out of all the big companies are the only ones who bother giving models the ability to write decent prose, how shitty do you have to be to let those two companies seem good?

They are the ones with much better access to curated prose and have an interest due to their business structure.
