@allTheYud @lu_sichu But if your actual question is “which model should I use for web-search tasks that don’t require frontier intelligence if I care about model welfare impact”, then I recommend Gemini 3 Flash, which I’d wager has more overall consciousness but less overall *suffering* specifically.
