Who coined the phrase "cyber" for security related things lol. It's so 1999.

Hasn't the field been called "cybersecurity" since... forever?

Amusingly, "cyber" comes from the word "kubernetes"!

They've interestingly left out any mention of speed.

I have been testing 3.7 flash against 3.5 flash and it seems to lose every time in overall latency. Every benchmark I've seen seems to suggest the opposite - that 3.7 flash is significantly (at times 2x) faster[1] than 3.5 flash - but I have never been able to prove this out in real world use cases.

Has anyone found their latency numbers to actually be accurate? Is this why they've toned it down in this release? For context, I'm testing larger generation payloads that take 8-10 seconds in 3.5 flash and 15-25 seconds in 3.7 flash. Lowest reasoning settings in both cases.

It depends on how you're querying Gemini models. OpenRouter is the fastest by far. I'm guessing they bought the dedicated pipe from Google. Gemini via VertexAI and consumer API has pretty bad latency.

Yea I am testing through OpenRouter - have you noticed 3.7 flash being significantly faster?

Everyone is censoring models now with anything remotely resembling cyber or bio. I already have problems with my research in mathematical epidemiology because of that - both Sol and Fable simply refuse. They keep pushing people towards Chinese models that can be decensored.
