After a month of use, the author says Flash 3.6 stands out for a rare mix of absurd speed and decent instruction following.
- For easy-to-medium tasks, replies feel “magical” because code is often ready 1–2 seconds after hitting enter.
- The model is most useful for fast iteration: the author often switches to it once a plan is set, or when a task is simple enough to finish quickly.
- For harder tasks, they still move to another model instead of relying on Flash 3.6 end-to-end.
