I keep saying this and people dont believe me, but I have b2b saas systems with actual agents running around the clock, and the performance/stability of the flash model is higher than most other models.

Meaning, its predictable with tool calls, wont spin off a million tools/do weird behavior, its reasonable. Even sonnet in a real world decision making scenario is not reliable, or will reason so long its incredibly expensive.

The benchmarks arent catching all the value, and most people have never actually ran an ai agent in a real context that matters

some of the tool calling is better, its better at knowing how to use a sequence of tools in a real world scenario. things like glm 5.2 will spam tool calls like 100 times. gemini model will just use the tools as you would expect

im always convinced people with takes on the open source models have never actually used them in a production agentic system

anthropic is crushing it, this analysis is laughable. they are only constrained by GPUs

Conspiracy theory:

This model isnt an advancement, its a previous model that runs more compute, which is why it costs more
