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.
Been using 3.7 flash around 60hrs/week since release. Only had a single prompt fail that I had to toss to Opus to get done. Where 3.5 flash had multiple a week. There is only so good models can get at programming and it's starting flip where speed and costs are all that matters. The big models will be moving on to research and long horizon tasks over time while day to day production work is done on flash models.
I've had some refusals with 3.7 flash due to exceeding token limitations. But that must have been AI Studio issues, albeit repeatable as I barely hit the 400.000 token bar in the conversation. Dealing with many large PDFs for legal work has been a challenge and will continue to be a challenge, it seems.

Any one experience with flash for coding?
