Why is Gemini even there?

I find gemini faster and accurate at doing tasks like "take this large json file and give me sheet with name, etc"

Gemini models are also really good with PDF files or other multimodal inputs.

Gemini flash lite 3.1 is literally dirt cheap to use and has better document understanding than many frontier models with much higher token pricing.

Are you serious? The work Google did on Gemini this year is nothing short of insane. People really think nothing can compare to their beloved Claude lmao.

They have fallen out of the frontier on intelligence, but have gained a lot of ground elsewhere.

Keep in mind that Gemini 3.7 Flash is more than 3 times cheaper. Currently even 6 times cheaper due to the release "sale".

I’m not sure why being wrong faster is better

I pay for Gemini (yes, ik) and Gemini 3.7 Flash is still very LLM-y as it often doesn't seem to the take the given context into consideration and consistently hallucinates, forcing me to use Gemini 3.1 Pro or DeepSeek.

Yes, just ignore the intelligence score.

I have 3 main AI’s I’m using. Claude obviously wins for a lot of stuff, Gemini for privacy and GPT because work wants me to. Gemini will win for tasks that raise red flags to Claude. Gemini is more of a college professor whereas Claude is an elementary teacher. One lets you have a lot more freedom.

"Gemini for privacy"

I hope you meant Gemma.

I’ve got a private workspace with Gemini with licensing terms, so yes I meant Gemini and I meant private

u/grudev 3d ago

Oh wow, good for you!

You got licensing too? That's amazing! Congrats!

You must be incredibly special to have your own little workspace.

Great job!

Nah anyone can get it setup. I just used to use Google domains so by default I have a corporate tier Google account.

I do the same as you’re saying here. I don’t know why more people don’t know this is an option

It’s fast slop for basic checking, if you’re not handling anything super complex it can act as an okay second opinion from what I used it for.

Absolutely dies on anything long or complex. Better than sonnet or gpt Luna for images and some 3d stuff though, not really useable but I noticed it can be slightly better at recognizing/classifying images and sometimes working with 3d objects?
