I second that. Gemini 3.5 Flash rocks the benchmark charts but is terrible as an agent. Horrible instruction adherence and makes WAY too many tool calls


Gemini 3.1 pro is still better at creative writing than any other model.


which cheap models have you found work best as agents?


Most of the bigger open weight models are pretty good. You can get them per-token from companies like Fireworks or OpenCode
