im realizing how much of a bottleneck vision models are

im just a glorified speedreadin' promptin' QA at this point with codex

once it replaces the QA layer its truly over for software dev jobs

future would be a software genie where on aistudio you type: "go make counterstrike 1.6 clone, here is $500, you have two hours"

edit: saw the Screenspot benchmark and holy ** this is an insane jump!!! 11% to 71% even beating Opus 4.5's 50%...chatgpt is at 3.5% and it matches my experience with codex

Maybe. However, with CYA requirements being everywhere in industry, there would have to be 100 waiver forms signed. I-promise-not-to-sue-company-if-AI-deletes-the-entire-database

It won't happen for that reason alone. Oh who am I kidding of course it will

Interesting "ScreenSpot Pro" results: 72.7% Gemini 3 Pro 11.4% Gemini 2.5 Pro 49.9% Claude Opus 4.5 3.50% GPT-5.1 ScreenSpot-Pro: GUI Grounding for Professional High-Resolution Computer Use https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.07981

impressive.....most impressive

its going to reach low 90s very soon if trends continue

Interesting. When i asked Gemini 3 Pro to generate a Infographic from my personal accounting sheet, it first failed to generate anything except a black background, then it generated something where it mixed different languages in a non-sensical way, with obvious typos and irrelevant information grouping. It's certainly a leap forward in OCR, rendering classic OCR useless.

The document is paints a super impressive picture, but the core constraint of “network connection to Google required so we can harvest your data” is still a big showstopper for me (and all cloud-based AI tooling, really).

I’d be curious to see how well something like this can be distilled down for isolated acceleration on SBCs or consumer kit, because that’s where the billions to be made reside (factories, remote sites, dangerous or sensitive facilities, etc).

That's more of an issue with Nano Banana Pro than with Gemini 3 Pro.
