alt Hacker Newsflash-lite is more of their luna tier competitor but even still not quite there yet, but gemini's dominance on multimodal and image understanding i think really gets downplayed on this site when most people think the only think you can do with LLMs is write code

Yes this is my impression as well. To be fair I didn't compare to Luna yet, but Gemini 3.5 Lite is a very good and cheap multi-modal data extraction model.
That's been my association as well. I see Flash get brought up a lot in relation to things like OCR and PDF processing frequently, and a lot of other routine multimodal workloads.
