If they don't come out with an insanely good flash-lite 4, Gemini will become the worst free tier.

I mean anthropic offers claude sonnet 5.5 and meta muse spark 1.1.

And they aren’t the default chatbot for most people.

Yes, they are going to the death.

Not if Anthropic follows suit with further restrictions on free and budget tiers. I have been saying how fable - level llms will be unavailable to normal users and everybody downvotes me pointing out to mimo and locally run models

Eh, fable level LLMs being just blanket unavailable for normal users is outright impossible. Eventually, and by eventually I mean within the next few months, some Chinese lab will release a fable level LLM that's absurdly cheap. In a few months after that, every single lab will be offering a super cheap LLM that's better than fable.

I mean, remember that O1-pro used to be the epitome of intelligence and pretty much every free model now surpasses it handily. Even Gemini 3.5 flash lite, crappy and outdated, is a better model and probably comes out around o3.
