If you use API in agent or your own integration with software, such models make a lot of sense. We use Terra 5.6 for "question to SQL" translation for example. It's good enough and affordable enough. Luna will probably not handle complex queries well while Sol is too expensive.

Same here, it's fast, cheap and fairly reliable for my use case.

I would love to read more about this if possible

I do. Sharing training data with OpenAI gives me a lot of complementary tokens. I go above that but it's still quite economical and I pick the right model for the task (Luna for most).

Genuine question: Are the use-cases similar to Jev or do you see it applicable for something different? Too dumb to figure it out on my own.

AGY is best probably, yes. That's what I use. It works with others too, like OpenCode etc.

That's Google at its best :)

I love Luna too. An excellent model and still usually better value per dollar than Gemini if you pay for API tokens. Things may change with 3.8 - we'll know soon.

Google One plans are quite a good value actually - for a few bucks you get more Gemini plus space in Drive and other extras. Even through API, $3.75 for nearly Sol-level quality isn't that bad. And let's not forget you can use it for free in AI Studio, and in the user app (even free accounts get tons of usage, though it's still 3.6 there), and in Antygravity.

Gemini 3.7 is my workhorse - fast and good enough for most tasks. Occasionally I go to GPT Sol or Claude to improve Gemini's output or for more complex tasks, but more than of my work usage is Gemini 3.7. Quite happy to test 3.8 now.

Honestly I don't understand how this is not on the front page

I used to not be excited about the next consumer tech gadget or the next JS framework, but I am now pretty excited about transforming new tech now (AI, energy, space, etc).

If you are happy to share data for training, the contributor mode offers amazing price $0.10 / $0.20

They have no choice - if they don't offer AI assisted search, someone else will eat their lunch.

They also provide the most usage for free and in the cheap paid plans.
