It's coding is still meh. Greenfield applets all day, but don't throw it in the jungle.

It's best for brain storming, rabbit holes, and image recognition.

Let the big models do the heavy lifting for now.

Agreed.

Even if you aren't coding, you really need to double check its answers. Flash 3.8 hallucinated a Keyence camera's max operating temperature for me, last week, and backed it up with "references".

It's still my favorite model for most non-coding stuff, though.
