More because Spark is not good. Gemini Flash 3.8 is an awesome model! I use it all the time
replySpark asks you for every single tool call, often forgets earlier parts of the conversation, is unable to use apps unless you explicitly tag them and and and
Google has great models, but their harnesses and products are just bad
Google definitely does not have good models and if it does, Gemini Flash series models are definitely not them. I use the Google Gemini app daily (for searches, research etc.), everyday, for some query, gemini flash 3.8 hallucinates, does not understand context etc. in quite short conversations. I switch back to 3.1 pro and it works fine.
replyWhich brings me to why do they get good benchmark scores? Have never really understood this. They must be optimizing just for this.
