Surprise drop today: Gemini 3.7 Flash. On AutomationBench, it beats models that cost twice as much. The progress here is insane. 3 weeks ago Gemini's 3.6 Flash scored 19.8%. Today, 3.7 is the first model to crack 30% on AutomationBench. At only 3 cents more per task. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀: Marketing (38%), Finance (37.5%), Sales (28.2%), and Support (22%) Example: Confirm a project is done in the CRM, then run our standard label cleanup on its email threads. Archive the closed ones, leave restricted ones alone. 3.7 was a full pass in 22 steps. GPT-5.6 Sol failed the same task in 8, then hallucinated a summary. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀: Operations. Opus 5 still runs that domain at 50%. Example: On a revenue-attribution task, 3.7 ran the math, updated the records, posted the summary, sent the escalation, and then never wrote the one required row on a second tracker. Came close, but still failed. How @Zapier's AutomationBench works: we score every new model on 657 of the hardest workflows we run. Scoring is deterministic: either the right records got updated and the right messages got sent, or they didn't (no partial credit) @GeminiApp’s 30% is a new record. See every model and price here:

gemini 3.5 flash is sooooooo good at image reasoning image reasoning is when the model has to actually think about what it sees not just label objects or read text it needs to connect the facts and figure out what’s going on reasoning trace: current order top to bottom: 654, 770, 655, 771, 772 target order: 654, 655, 770, 771, 772 LIS is 4: 654, 655, 771, 772 slide 770 between 655 and 771 answer: 1
