About to say the same... even with the "Gemini AI Plus" plan that should be renamed to "Gemini Flash" because you are only allowed to use "the mangled model" using it for something as basic as taking notes and saving to google keep or even google docs, heck yeah a simple "add this to my calendar" completly fails in gemini... Gemini sucks for everything even its own google apps... Claude and Codex even DeepSeek and Kimi are milestones better than anything Google has launched.

It is unfortunate that having such an amazing engineers that are capable to solve any leetcode exercise in 5 minutes on the spot with a white board, they aren't able to even deliver something useful on the AI space.

I love this never-ending people having vastly different experiences situation with LLMs. In my experience, Gemini flash 3.8 is an exceptional model and is the bulk of my agentic use as someone who bounces around models as soon as they come out. I would say it’s the best flash model until 1017 came out. It might still be better than 1017.
