   Gemini is underrated in that it produces the only prose that is somewhat bearable to read.

      It's also the only model that generates accurate translation and localization. No other frontier model comes close. Although Gemini's coding capabilities are subpar, its natural language processing is top-tier.

         I’m curious how you guys keep track of each model’s coding capabilities. The landscape keeps changing. I don’t suppose you benchmark all frontier models every other month, right?

            I use them. Daily. Gemini hasn’t been a contender by comparison for a long time.

               I did a test involving implementing cobol control flow in Java for a source to source translation project. Gemini was the only model to get the edge cases. Cobol is very peculiar in this regard.

                  It's very good at Elixir in my experience too. And it just does what I ask and doesn't wind me up like Opus. I don't think I've had to insult it more than once per day.
