I'm only interested in the state-of-the-art model by each provider.
For Google, this is still gemini-3.1-pro-preview, right?

Clearly this model will be irrelevant by Jan. 2027, why would Google even bother to say this?

Re: Gemini 3.7 Flash
#24This is genuinely a competitive model, considering it beats Claude Sonnet 5 on almost all benchmarks and is more than half its price. Seems like Google is back in the game, though not leading the frontier anymore.
Sonnet 5 is arguably the most cost ineffective model to ever be released, so that's not really impressive. It can regularly cost more than Fable, take longer, and deliver far far lower quality. I'm much more interested how this compares to Luna - which on price is terribly - but at least on quality the benchmarks make this look competitive / usable. If Google continues monthly Flash releases like Sundar said they wou…
Agreed

#25The multimodal abilities are great, but if you deal with text only, what is the benefit of using this over DS V4 Flash/Pro? 13-26x cheaper with comparable intelligence, and available across many different inference providers. I fail to see the usecase where DS V4 Pro is not enough, but Flash 3.7 is - except multimodal. Luna is similar, and also 8x cheaper. Source: artificialanalysis The only benefit I can see is the…

That's why DS4 already had a huge price hike announcement.

Flash is better than Pro for now.
Re: Gemini 3.7 Flash
#27Gemini Flash is one of the best "good-enough" models. I use this type of model daily, for automation and quick development iteration loops.
Unfortunately, it's often not strong enough for heavy refactoring and long running development loops.

#28> * For 3.6 and 3.7 Flash, introductory price expires on December 31, 2026. Starting January 1, 2027, $1.50/1M input tokens and $7.50/1M output tokens will apply. this is hilarious. it is not 2025 any more, by Jan 2027 there will be at least 3 newer generation of models (from other provider) released already. nobody would use flash 3.7 at that time. sure we used to cling to gemini models in the past, demanding 2.5 mo…
This is added specifically so you migrate out of those as fast as next models will be available.

I guess the demand is just too high... But even after the price hike, ds is still much cheaper?

#30strong improvement over 3.6 flash
but luna is hard to beat @ capability / cost
