alt Hacker NewsI don't know if Google is having the worst marketing fumble or the most genius marketing one. Their "flash" models are very comparable to other companies' "pro" or "flagship" models. It seems to be a quite counterintuitive naming convention as it undersells the models.
Unless they have an even more powerful Gemini Pro in the oven...?

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if it's about keeping the federal government out of their business after seeing what happened to Sol & Mythos.

not saying they do have a beefier pro, but even if they did, isn't the delta between flash vs pro models reduced quite a bit? (e.g glm 5.3 flash vs 5.3, v4 flash vs v4 pro, sonnet 5 vs opus 5)?

Well if that's the case, it's been in the oven for quite a while now.
the 3.5 pro pretrain was a complete disaster, they shelved it and are now working on gemini 4.
3.0 flash -> 3.8 flash is all post training which is pretty impressive.
