If you used, you would know. There's something addicting seeing the vertigo inducing progression of that technology.

I am a light user so I don't get the shakes when my monthly azure dev credits run out but I would be susceptible to being addicted to it if I was on a subscription with generous usage allowance and random usage counter resets.

Gemini Flash is the one I get most excited about, because it's so fast and so good at real-world knowledge, and it's improving so fast - look at how much the benchmarks improved in ~1 month. It's just categorically different than anything else.

Also, I use it every day, and it just got ~10% better at coding, according to the benchmarks. How is that not exciting?

I use Gemini every day and I've noticed any subjective improvement. In many cases it feels worse because it does fewer Google searches than before. As a result I find it hard to get excited about it.

I do think Gemini is underrated on HN though!

Given that they push capabilities at the pareto frontier, yeah

A lot of us use these in our services, so we're getting an upgrade "for free"

You know how the saying goes that you have to pick two out of three: cheap, fast or good? This is all of those. Pretty exciting.

I'll wait for Astra and Grok 4.7 announcements but probably getting at least one Ultra subscription.

Since testing 3.7 on Pro for last two weeks I'm realizing just how long I'm waiting on other models. I've been multitasking to compensate but it's exhausting so I'd rather not.

Yes they are mostly shill and bot comments. Some of the big accounts are paid influencers, some of the other comments are purely AI.

HN sells these advertising services. Nobody is using “Claude” etc.

They will censor comments like yours and my reply here because we call it out.

It’s very weird that basically lies and disinformation became the optimal meta in business and in life! But here we are

Correct. This orange site has evidently gone under AI psychosis especially in model release posts and is overrun by AI bots, paid influencers and even small creeping signs of crypto pumpfun scams [0].

Even making a tiny joke is too much [1] for some.

> They will censor comments like yours and my reply here because we call it out.

Don't bother calling it out, it does not work. There are protected accounts where the guidelines don't apply to them and moderators allow this and ban others who do the same thing. [2]

It is pointless, and HN is cooked for this.
