The fact that gemini 3.8 flash is so high up there just tells you this is an awful benchmark.
Try and use gemini 3.8 yourself for any real world work and you'll see it's terrible. It'll just go in circles reading the same file 20 times for no reason making hundreds of tool calls for a simple change.
EDIT: I was using gemini cli... it's not a harness issue lol
