In a quoted tweet, a user says the new Gemini model is very good for scientific discovery—tuning curves, finding new algorithms—and works well on fairly open-ended tasks kicked off over weekends and overnight, while daytime needs are better served by the Flash model. The retweeter adds that Gemini 3.8 Flash plus Argon covers all their agentic needs.
