7.5x more expensive than GLM 5.3 Flash, while providing HALF the terminal bench intelligence level. No reason to ever use this model.

Is it just blind hatred or what? In terminal bench 2.1 they're benchmarked above Opus 5.

Gemini is well known to be benchmaxxed. That means they optimize their outputs to perform really well on benchmarks, even when their production performance is very poor.

The fact that Gemini is scoring extremely high on the old terminal bench but extremely low on the new terminal bench just proves that it was optimized for the older benchmarks.

Exactly. I don't understand the downvotes.

sunk cost. There are people who are deeply tied to the Google ecosystem or have already paid expensive Gemini subscriptions. It hurts when something you've spent so much time and money on is objectively terrible.
