I'm honestly impressed that the sutro team could write a whole post complaining about Flash, and not once mention that Flash was actually 2 different models, and even go further to compare the price of Flash non-thinking to Flash Thinking. The team is either scarily incompetent, or purposely misleading.

Google replaced flash non-thinking with Flash-lite. It rebalanced the cost of flash thinking.

Also important to note that Gemini has gotten a lot slower, just over the past few weeks.

I find Gemini basically unusable for coding for that reason.
