With all the naysayers on Gemini models I'm curious how many people actually use Gemini regularly?

For me, Gemini models are the most usable. Claude Opus and Mistral always try to turn queries into one-shot enormous commits, which just burns tokens, time and annoys me for something which is still wrong more often than not.

Gemini seems far better at listening to instructions and giving me what I actually want, on top of using far fewer tokens and wasting my time. Fable is the only model that's come close to Gemini Pro for me.

And as this is about Flash, it's exciting, I find Flash can usually get the right answer pretty quickly and without too much nonsense.
