“78% SWE-bench — beats even Gemini 3 Pro! 3x faster than 2.5 Pro at 69% less cost. New king.” — @dev_reviewer_19

“The right default choice for most production workloads. Reliable and fast.” — @dev_reviewer_14

“Real-time data access via X is unique. No other model has this. Competitive pricing.” — @dev_reviewer_12

“WebDev Arena leader but being superseded by 3 Flash. Single-digit Toolathlon scores — can't handle multi-step agentic workflows.” — @dev_reviewer_14

“Best cost efficiency. Good enough for 80% of tasks at a fraction of the cost.” — @dev_reviewer_3

“Dead model walking. Migrate to 3 Flash before the June shutdown.” — @dev_reviewer_7

“Still loved by companion/roleplay users. Developers moved on to 5.x.” — @dev_reviewer_17

“Coding is catastrophic: LiveCodeBench 32.8%, below Llama 3.3 70B. Context window is misleading — 15.6% accuracy at 128K.” — @dev_reviewer_9
