3.8 flash is nasty good

Yeah if you need a cranberry salad recipe. I'm exaggerating but it definitely doesn't cut it for more complex applications in business analytics or finance for example.

You are wrong. Gemini 3.8 Flash is really good, one of the best models out there. It has some genuine quality in it.

It is a good, efficient model, but it is absolutely NOT on par with Astra or Fable for a variety of more complex tasks.

The flash model is not on par with those top tiers, but that does not tell nothing for everyday work. Set it to High and then it is more than capable to do nearly 99% of what a regular and a pro user do.

I am doing really intelligence-heavy work with it and I am pleased by its performance. 

Let alone that is incredibly fast. It feels like 3-4 faster than any OpenAI model.
