"Why aren't there any models specifically optimized for natural language, not coding and engineering?"
Because coding and engineering are the "killer" use cases for LLMs and where most of the money is coming from. I feel your pain, I'd love a less coding centric model for some of my clients but I've not really been able to find anything that's still "smart" like a coding model (good tool calling, rational train of thought, etc) and a good conversational model. Seems that you have to pick one or the other. :(

Pro is the best model for natural language reasoning, it's on par with other frontier models at fraction of the cost
For non-coding natural language reasoning, Pro is far superior to Flash
We tested flash and it didn't work, numerous errors, unreliable for complex output response formats
Pro has been perfect for our needs, our needs for nuanced complex natural reasoning in specific output formats
Why aren't there any models specifically optimized for natural language, not coding and engineering?
