If Gemini Flash is just faster Gemini, then I would say that bad answers aren't better when delivered more quickly.

I ran Gemini Pro side by side with ChatGPT 4 for a few months on practical coding, systems architecture, and occasional general questions. ChatGPT was more useful at least 80% of the time. Gemini was either wrong or laboriously meandering in reaching a useful answer that it wasn't worth using, in my experience.

Faster isn't what I needed... Maybe it's also "smarter" (more useful) too now?



Presumably we are defining smartness as doing more with less, so this indicates they have something going on in the latent space which will scale.
