I agree Gemini's value is not at the frontier, but they are making very useful smaller models. 3.5 flash lite is super fast, cheap and token efficient and accepts any kind of input. For large, price-sensitive processing, in consolidated workflows that don't need the latest improvement, it is the best. Perhaps they should focus on improving their dominance on this business, I don't see gemini reaching claude/gpt in coding. But they could be the ones that make it possible, and economically viable, to roll out llms in large scale automation.
