prototyping co-drawing with Gemini Flash 3 at Google in these demos "thinking" is disabled, which makes the model return tokens very quickly (all videos are realtime), and I find these rapid responses pretty good for the use-cases I'm experimenting with, like: executing simple diagrams ...

overall the tradeoff of "quality" vs "speed" seems to make a lot of sense here, I'm just sketching something I'm interested in, and getting responses back in seconds I also really like the vibe of hand-drawn human input and "technical" model responses
