How is it far behind? The benchmarks published in the blog post show it is superior to Opus 5.5 and Astra 6?
Behind how?
Behind how?
I am very often giving the same programming task to multiple LLMs for various reasons - the answers from Google are so bad that I gave up.
I have no interest in benchmarks.
If you have actual independent benchmarks and evidence about how this new model release is "so far behind" and refutes the stuff from their blog then please do share because I think we'd all love to see that?
With respect, I don't find your arguement about them being "so far behind" especially convincing when you are using previous-gen releases and not actually using their current release.
