OT: I’m not entirely sure why, but "agentic" sets my teeth on edge. I don't mind the concept, but the word itself has that hollow, buzzwordy flavor I associate with overblown LinkedIn jargon, particularly as it is not actually in the dictionary...unlike perfectly serviceable entries such as "versatile", "multifaceted" or "autonomous"

Huh, all three words you mentioned as replacement are equally buzzwordy and I see them a lot in CVs while screen candidates for job interview.

Versatile implies it can to more kinds of tasks (than it's predecessor or competitor). Agentic implies it requires less human intervention.

I don't think these are necessary buzzwords if the product really does what they imply.

What's everyone's favorite LLM leaderboard? Gemini 2 seems to be edging out 4o on chatbot arena( https://lmarena.ai/?leaderboard )

AI benchmarks and leaderboards are complete nonsense though.

Find something you like, use it, be ready to look again in a month or two.

Any word on price? I can't find it at https://ai.google.dev/pricing

I've been using Gemini Flash for free through the API using Cline for VS Code. I switch between Claude and Gemini Flash, using Claude for more complicated tasks. Hope that the 2.0 model comes closer to Claude for coding.

Or… just continue using Claude?
