Stop fighting small models: Gemini 1.1 Flash prioritizes developer control
◆ 85RelevanceOn a story from Google DeepMind3h ago
If you have been sacrificing output reliability for the speed of Flash, this update suggests a path to keep both. You should re-test your complex prompts against 1.1 to see if you can lower your latency and costs without losing steering.
Takeaways
- Re-benchmark your small-model workflows to see if 'control' improvements reduce hallucination.
- Small models are evolving from simple completion engines into more steerable agents.
- Evaluate if this update allows for more reliable structured data extraction at scale.
