    Yes, that's very good because it's my main use case for Flash; queries depending on world knowledge. Not science or engineering problems, but think you'd ask someone that has a really broad knowledge about things and can give quick and straightforward answers.

    I'm not sure how I'm going to live with this!

    Looks like a good workhorse model, like I felt 2.5 Flash also was at its time of launch. I hope I can build confidence with it because it'll be good to offload Pro costs/limits as well of course always nice with speed for more basic coding or queries. I'm impressed and curious about the recent extreme gains on ARC-AGI-2 from 3 Pro, GPT-5.1 and now even 3 Flash.

    ? The user directly addresses this.

    And given this, it unsurprisingly scores very well on https://eqbench.com

    I thought so too on my mini PC. Then I got myself my current Mac mini M4 and I have to give it to Apple, or maybe in part to ARM... It was like another SSD moment. It's still not spun up the fan and run literally lukewarm at most my office, coding and photo work.

    Yeah, NTFS is quite capable. I mostly blame the Windows UI for being a bit too dumbed down and not advertising the capabilities well.

    I've also thought of this and what's more, Google's platform provides them with training from YouTube, optimal backend access to the Google Search index for grounding from an engine they've honed for decades, training from their smartphones, smart home devices and TV's, Google Cloud... And as you say, also the reverse; empowering their services from said AI, too.

    They can also run AI as a loss leader like with Antigravity.

    Meanwhile, OpenAI looks like they're fumbling with that immediately controversial statement about allowing NSFW after adult verification, and that strange AI social network which mostly led to Sora memes outside of it.

    I think they're going to need to do better. As for coding tools, Anthropic is an ever stronger contender there, if they weren't pressured from Google already.

    I would understand this project much better on Windows, which:

    1. Doesn't have an established WebKit browser, which 110% sucks due to issues with testing for Mac and iOS. This is a long standing issue.

    2. Relies on a Chromium-based browser with its own integrity issues, as well as a Microsoft approach to telemetry.

    I don't associate Safari nearly as much to neither invasive telemetry, tracking, or ads beyond those on the web, nor poor performance on Mac. In fact, I often find it excellent especially in terms of battery life, and Safari has integrated content blocking and tracking protections. Maybe not as powerful as here (?) but telling of Apple's approach to caring for this.

    Edit: I saw there's work on Windows support. That's good news. IMHO, this browser should be Windows-first. It makes far more sense there to me. But maybe you like Mac more as a platform?

    It's off by default and configurable for now, but it's obvious to me that MS wants to get to that sweet offline data to train on.

    Use the "Efficient" persona in the ChatGPT settings. Formerly known as "Robot".

    I do think it's looking fine, and above all a cross between Android (Material 3 Expressive), Windows 11 'Fluent UX', and iOS which I think will make many feel right at home. This wasn't really the case with the "old" Material style.

    I personally love Jetbrains Mono; it's been one of a kind for me and my tastes. I like it over Consolas (although this is one is pretty good on Windows), Fira Mono, Inconsolata, Plex Mono. But I can see the effort here and I'm definitely going to give this one a try! I've found that typefaces can change a lot depending on pixel alignment and rendering engines (i.e. ClearType, GDI, FreeType, Quartz... let pixel grid decide or not, or by how much...). So it's hard to tell if this is going to win me over without actually trying!

    I like this one as an alternative, also requiring using a special representation to achieve a visual result: https://voxelbench.ai

    What's more, this doesn't benchmark a singular prompt.

    I went up 4:30 am today for a flight to Gothenburg, pretty tired and slow... and you and me both.

    A multimodal release is planned.

    This could have been a 10 Megabyte TUI app in your terminal tab. Boggles my mind how even this kind of app manages to bring in Electron and the cloud.

    Edit: Ah, so here it is: https://posting.sh

    Of course this happens when I take a day off from work lol

    Came here after the Internet felt oddly "ill" and even got issues using Medium, and sure enough https://status.medium.com
