Just talk to 3.8 flash about whatever (caveats: ancient knowledge cutoff of jan 2025, small parameter model so if niche '90s korean animated series is your jam, it's gonna be rough). The model is a real joy to talk to, I even will feed it SOTA model output to clean up and clarify for me.

Its the first model ever that I have been worried about a successor losing the "feel" that it has.
