Claude Soñnet is a more creative coder.

That's why Gemini Flash might appear dumb in front of Sonnet. But who writes the dumb functions better which are guaranteed to work for long time in production? Gemini.

But Sonnet makes silly mistakes like, even when I feed it requirements.txt it still uses methods which either do not exist or used to exist but not anymore.

Gemini Flash isn't as creative.

So basically, we use Sonnet to do high level programming and Flash for low level (writing functions which are guaranteed to be correct and clean, no black magic)

Problem with sonnet is it's slow. Sometimes you'll be stuck in a loop where it suggests something, then removes it when it encounters errors, then it again suggests the vary same thing you tried before.

I am using Claude Soñnet via cursor.

>What if you need to iterate on the functions it gives?

I can do it via Aider and even modify the prompt it sends to Gemini Flash.
