“It offers the highest intelligence-per-dollar ratio currently available. However, this intelligence comes with a hidden “tax” in the form of token bloat.”
great call out.
i will say gemini flash is probably my favorite model right now. is does feel like a pro model at flash speed..
For tasks that don't rely heavily on the model's internal knowledge and more on information provided in the context (e.g., transcription, translation, etc.), I find Flash to be very convenient.
I was planning to use it as model for orchestrator, that route other agents. Cant wait to try, since I am using a lot Gemini 2.5 flash, which is pretty fast and its doing solid work.

Do you think that hallucination rate is addressable? I am still stuck with pro version in my app, but will try the flash if not tonight.
