#92The benchmark that matters - can it actually program as well as Claude code.
If not then I’m not using it.
Cancelled my account 3 months ago, only Claude code level capability would bring me back.

#93Per million input/output tokens: Gemini 2.5 flash: $0.30/$2.50 Gemini 3.0 flash preview: $0.50/$3.00 Gemini 3.5 flash: $1.50/$9.00 Interesting pricing direction. I don't think we have ever seen a 3x price increase for in the immediate next same-sized model (and lol @ 3 only ever getting a preview). 3.5 flash costs similar to Gemini 2.5 pro which was $1.25/$10
I don't think they're really comparable. Seems they created the Flash-Lite tier to take the spot of the old Flash models.

If Google is actually getting cheaper inference than everyone else with their TPUs, this smells like trouble to me. Maybe serving LLMs at a profit is proving difficult.
Or maybe they think because their benchmarks are good they can ramp up the prices. Seems like they don’t have the market share to justify a move like that yet to me.

#95Conspiracy theory: This model isnt an advancement, its a previous model that runs more compute, which is why it costs more
Nah, it costs what you are willing to pay.
Re: Gemini 3.5 Flash
#96Is there a good benchmark tracking hallucinations? The models are all incredibly good now, even the open ones, and my hope is that the rate of hallucinations is something that's falling off in concert with larger and larger context lengths.
As long as the model uses web search, they almost never hallucinate anymore. The fast models (haiku, gpt-instant, flash) still sometimes have the problem where they don't search before answering so they can hallucinate
I've seen chatGPT and Gemini hallucinate even from web search, it's better is not sufficient

#97$1.5/m input tokens $9/m output tokens 6x the price of 3.1 flash lite
"Flash-Lite" is a different product from "Flash", which is more expensive. They couldn't be more confusing with their naming though, especially since they have 3.1 Pro and not 3.1 Flash non-lite.

3.5 flash is listed as stable rather than preview, or am I misreading?
