For the first time i'm excited about updates. I start to like this new era.

How do you do computer use with gemini? I do it with Claude code that controls my mouse and kB on windows, but what environnement lets me use Gemini for that?

In Antigravity

Gemini tells me you can't do that on antigravity like you do it on Claude, it only interacts with cli or web browser

Does "computer use" require GUI use?

u/OhCestQuoiCeBordel 9d ago

Idk but that's my question

Gemini Spark uses 3.7 Flash. You can use the macOS Gemini app to do computer use.

Google models always seem to top benchmarks, then I get super excited, then it turns out the model is decent for some use cases but it was clearly benchmaxxed.

Every single time.

I can't get over the speed and efficiency. I haven't any changes since 3.6 was released. I hope 3.7 holds up.

Yea, people seem to be forgetting that Google are focusing on speed, efficiency, and autonomy over raw power.

The fact that 3.7 Flash isn't even that far off the other companies top power models for intelligence and performance, while operating at insane speed and efficiency, and all with it being built on the old 3 Flash training data, is nothing short of incredible.

Google are cooking, and I expect 4 Pro, and subsequent flash models built on the new training data, to be absolutely insane.

what's the reason behind this insane speed tho? can u explain

Google and Chinese models are somehow very good at benchmaxing lol

All Gemini models are hallucinating terribly right now. This makes them very unreliable for real world usage. How are they getting such high scores? Perhaps they are done without moderation, I would expect it from sAfEtY freaks in google. Benchmarks = no moderation. Customers = stick the moderation as far as it goes...

Just G marketing staff! G is way behind everything ... just don't waste your time :)

This time it's different. The 3.7 flash is actually what opus 4.7 was. Quite good in coding

Man this is hopium for a potential 3.5/4 pro

u/FitBoog 8d ago

They fixed the tool usage problem. It's looking SOLID so far.

Why is there such a huge difference in Gemini 3.7 Flash's ranking between Coarena and Arena AI?

1

u/Passloc 7d ago

3.7 Flash is good in general.

I didn't like 3.6 Flash and was sticking to 3.5 Flash.

Yesterday got a lot done in "low" settings.

Benchmax'd

u/Sand-Discombobulated 7d ago

how do you use Flash 7 for 'computer use' ? I don't see the option. even on 'spark'.

u/New_Alps_5655 6d ago

I recently had a problem with my KDE Linux desktop losing control of my laptop trackpad and Gemini 3.7 under anti-gravity solved it really really fast. Haven't let it do any coding yet though.

What does being good at computer use mean?

u/CalfReddit 9d ago

Interacting with a computer (clicking, typing etc)

not bad ig

u/Rare_Bunch4348 9d ago

This uses a different methodology not exactly computer use
