alt Hacker NewsSince it now includes 4 thinking levels (minimal-high) I'd really appreciate if we got some benchmarks across the whole sweep (and not just what's presumably high).
Flash is meant to be a model for lower cost, latency-sensitive tasks. Long thinking times will both make TTFT >> 10s (often unacceptable) and also won't really be that cheap?
Google appears to be changing what flash is “meant for” with this release - the capability it has along with the thinking budgets make it superior to previous Pro models in both outcome and speed. The likely-soon-coming flash-lite will fit right in to where flash used to be - cheap and fast.
