alt Hacker NewsThey went too far, now the Flash model is competing with their Pro version. Better SWE-bench, better ARC-AGI 2 than 3.0 Pro. I imagine they are going to improve 3.0 Pro before it's no more in Preview.
Also I don't see it written in the blog post but Flash supports more granular settings for reasoning: minimal, low, medium, high (like openai models), while pro is only low and high.

Wasn't this the case with the 2.5 Flash models too? I remember being very confused at that time.

I'm not sure how I'm going to live with this!
"minimal" is a bit weird.

I'd prefer a hard "no thinking" rule than what this is.
