alt Hacker NewsCan you open up the options to use other model/versions, especially Gemini-2.5 pro experimental models available through aistudio? Would love to try this but gemini flash fails for even simple tasks. Example: I asked it to extract all the links from comment section of a hackernews comment section and it just scrolled all the way to the end and then nothing. Maybe pro models can do it better.

Gemini 2.5 pro is available. Is it missing on your side? Do you run index via CLI?

"Gemini Flash fails even for simple tasks." On the Gemini Flash page (https://deepmind.google/technologies/gemini/flash/), it claims to be 'best for fast performance on complex tasks.'. I always use Gemini Flash in my project for demos and testing, and it performs very well, if a project requires a large, expensive model to handle simple tasks, that could be an issue to users.
