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

      I work for Google and we have the choice between Gemini models and Opus. Opus is slightly better than Gemini flash but I find the style unbearable.

      It reminds me of a pedantic grad student.

         The 4.5 models were the last Anthropic models that were actually pleasant to read. Especially Sonnet 4.5 was really fun to use for non-coding purposes. I liked having it generate silly short stories while waiting for deployments to finish. Haiku 4.5 still has a small bit of that charm, but 4.6 and later models are all unbearable unless you want a simple 'this is the answer' to a question.
