It’s a fairly affordable model but it has a lot of power. It’s capable of generating wonderful UI like this in one shot:

The model is in the top of intelligence, the top of speed and it’s in the low area of the token pricing which makes it a model you can easily debug and code with:

The model is also inside of the green area according to Artificial Analysis which means that it’s a great price to intelligence model. It’s right on the dot matched with Kimi K2.5 which dropped recently, where 3 Flash is a few months older.

I can’t wait for Gemini 3.5 or Gemini 4 to drop, if it can stay this competitive with pricing it’ll be a real game changer. As you can see, on te more right side, the Anthropic models aren’t really close yet.
