Currently top at https://deepswe.datacurve.ai - beating Opus 5! https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/gemini-3-8-flash shows an intelligence score of 59, the same as Opus 5 medium! Wow - for a flash model this seems to benchmark powerfully. Remains to be seen what it is like to use.

#132I've been using Gemini 3.7 for my personal trip planning app. Across multiple benchmarks, it ranks higher on everything I tried: - Real world knowledge (when a thing opens and closes, the geographic region, historical facts). It's also the best at taking a cluster of places and working out a visiting order. - Photo ranking (which photo should be the hero). Gemini can tell whether a photo is of the thing or of the vie…

Why you would rely on the model's weights to know opening hours, instead of having the model call a web search tool to verify it on the official site?

#134Who coined the phrase "cyber" for security related things lol. It's so 1999.

Google - we're so back
Only 1 point behind the Chinese SOTA from two months ago.

A fifth of the cost of Opus 5! Google is certainly pushing the completion with this.
Gemini hasn't failed me for personal usage yet. I haven't had the opportunity to use it at work.
Then I tell Opus to read the audit report and implement what it agrees with.
Flash is really good at this, and it is blazing fast in Antigravity CLI. Easily 10x faster than Opus.
Can't wait to try 3.8 Flash. If it's good enough, maybe I'll switch Flash to primary and make Opus the auditor.

Congratulations, you're this thread's "pelicans are tiresome" comment - it's part of the Hacker News tradition at this point. (Next up is the comment saying that the labs are clearly training for the benchmark.)

#140If I had to pay per token I would probably consider using this (they seem to be on the pareto of performance) but not being able to use opencode with a subscription is not really something I'm realistically going to do when claude and codex are around. Also never gotten along well with gemini-cli / antigravity-cli.
