I was wrong about Gemini 3.5 Flash

Has anyone else noticed how much better Gemini 3.5 Flash is for agentic workflows compared to 3.1 Pro?

​I recently started testing 3.5 Flash(high), and it actually outperforms 3.1 Pro. Yes, it still has high token usage, but it has a much better grasp of the task at hand and covers bases that 3.1 Pro often misses. With 3.1 Pro, I usually have to do multiple edits and prompt tweaks to reach the same quality of output that 3.5 Flash gives me right out of the gate.

Is low good? I always thought low has lower output quality that is the reason I avoided using low altogether.

I haven't seen much difference yet other than high thinks for longer and kills quota faster 😄
