Gemini 3.6 Flash enters a blind office-doc arena, but still lacks enough votes

A blind benchmark for generating PowerPoint and Word files has added Gemini 3.6 Flash.

• The arena gives different models the same source material and asks humans to pick which anonymous file they would actually use.
• So far, 500 participants have cast 6,913 votes across 33 models.
• The organizer says the leaderboard has already become much more useful than expected.
• Flash is still too new to have a reliable score, so more comparisons are needed.
• The Elo system was also updated to make ratings more stable and less noisy.

The post asks people to vote at docbench.sprintos.co and says results will be posted once the sample size is large enough.
