#284 Max: Gemini 3 Flash – The "Budget" Model That Just Became the King of Coding

"Flash" used to mean fast but simple. Not anymore. ⚡ Gemini 3 Flash is currently outperforming Pro models on real-world coding benchmarks (SWE-bench) while costing 4x less. We're breaking down the "Dynamic Thinking" shift that makes this possible.

We’ll talk about:

• The SWE-bench Upset: How Gemini 3 Flash (Thinking) hit 78.0%, beating out Gemini 3 Pro and Claude Sonnet 4.5 on the hardest coding tests.
• Dynamic Thinking: The architectural secret that forces the model to plan and reason internally before typing a single bracket of code.
• The "Billion-Dollar" Redesign: A stress test showing how Flash can analyze a live website and re-implement it with senior-level design philosophy.
• Voxel Art & 3D Math: Why  ...
