A Reddit user flags that a DeepMind researcher's profile (working on Gemini scaling) appeared to reveal the rumored new model "was Flash all along" — suggesting a heavily hyped release may actually be a Flash-tier model. The profile has since been deleted. Unverified rumor, but if true it reframes expectations for the upcoming Gemini release.
