Gemini 3.7 Flash Review: Fast and Cost-Effective, but TOS Limits Flexibility
leebase65 · reddit · 2026-08-16
Reddit user leebase65 shares hands-on experience with Google's new Gemini 3.7 Flash model and Antigravity tool. He finds the model not the absolute best but very fast and cost-effective, enough to offload some development work to Gemini and get more value from his $20/month AI Pro subscription. After a full day of coding, he used only 27% of his weekly quota, praising the value. His main complaint is the terms of service restricting usage to Google's tools, preventing use in third-party tools like Oh-My-Pi or OpenCode for role-based model assignment.
