| They compare it to 5.6 Terra, however https://cognition.com/frontiercode puts Terra at about 1/2 the price Also have to compare to the recent Grok 4.6 release, which appears to straight up be better AND cheaper Hard to understand why anyone would choose 3.7 Flash under these conditions.. is Deepmind still a frontier lab? |

At this point, I think they're mostly targeting Google One and Workspace subscribers, except doing worse compared to Microsoft because they don't have Microsoft's huge enterprise moat built from their DOS and Windows days. |

| >3.7 Flash is available through the end of the year at an introductory price
1 of $0.75/1M input tokens and $3.75/1M output tokens. This price combined with the enhanced model performance enables developers and customers to scale production-ready agents cost effectively. Introductory pricing until December 2026 implies no significant Gemini Flash developments until the next year. |

| This is genuinely a competitive model, considering it beats Claude Sonnet 5 on almost all benchmarks and is more than half its price. Seems like Google is back in the game, though not leading the frontier anymore. |

| ▲ | onlyrealcuzzo 14 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Sonnet 5 is arguably the most cost ineffective model to ever be released, so that's not really impressive. It can regularly cost more than Fable, take longer, and deliver far far lower quality. I'm much more interested how this compares to Luna - which on price is terribly - but at least on quality the benchmarks make this look competitive / usable. If Google continues monthly Flash releases like Sundar said they would, and they continue to have this much of an improvement in cost/quality - then in a few months this could reasonably be very competitive with the best of the best. It is not there yet, but at least it's super fast, I guess. | | | |
