They need to release benchmarks against Luna/Terra. Luna is much cheaper which feels like it undercuts the need for Flash.
I've always considered the Flash series of models to be for low-cost, high-volume, mostly text-based use cases (e.g. summarization, parsing, formatting), emphasis on low-cost.

[edit: ah, benchmarks here: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/ge...
more of a Terra than Luna competitor which is an interesting positioning. I feel like differentiation at the mid-tier of models is pretty difficult.]
