Logan says Gemini 4.0 should have prioritized coding sooner as beta testing begins
A video says Gemini 4.0 has entered beta, that Google diverted resources toward the Nano Banana image model, and that the sudden "3.8 Flash" on Arena is unusually strong at coding and long context.
🔥 Logan on Gemini 4.0: Resources should have been poured into Coding much earlier instead of prioritizing Nano Banana. Beta testing has already started. Looking back, it's crystal clear that Coding should have received an order of magnitude more investment much sooner. It wasn't that its importance was unknown at the time; the priority was simply diverted to image models. Nano Banana was definitely a massive hit, but the real bottleneck for developers has always been writing code and Agents. That "3.8 Flash" that suddenly surged in the Arena is absolutely crushing coding and long-context tasks—don't tell me that's still just the standard Flash. Google is finally aiming in the exact right direction this time! #Gemini4 #Gemini4Pro #GoogleAI #Google #LoganKilpatrick https://x.com/firesidealpha/status/2101418042744053996/video/1
