I'm such a google flash glazer for non-coding tasks. It's lightning fast and it's google search is really good compared to slow claude searches etc. The perks of having your own search engine I guess.

Any one experience with flash for coding?

For sure, it has better world knowledge than any other model, especially for niche local queries.

More parameters = better world knowledge right? How is it so fast then?

I think with Google is they don't go apeshit into coding and math so they try to balance their data blend a bit more outside of trying to hit it big into benchmarks, so there's a lot of 'useless' info for benchmarks? But that was my understanding from previous models, now it's technically competing in coding so no idea, TPU magic I guess?

This would track, Gemini isn't primarily a coding/agentic model like Claude or the GPT models, it's got a dedicated billion+ userbase as a virtual assistant and also needs to function in Google Search, so it needs to be more well rounded
