They should call it 'face saving pricing after we realized just how terribly did we mis-price the flash 3.5'

This is my first hand experience. I spent at least $3000 on gemini-3-flash-preview. And exactly $0 total on (3.5+3.6+3.7)

gemini-3-flash-preview is legit amazing and cheap. That's why i spent over 10k on it.
