Ingesting PDFs and why Gemini 2.0 changes everything

Been toying with the flash model. Not the top model, but think it'll see plenty use due to the details. Wins on things other than top of benchmark logs

* Generous free tier

* Huge context window

* Lite version feels basically instant

However

* Lite model seems more prone to repeating itself / looping

* Very confusing naming e.g. {model}-latest worked for 1.5 but now its {model}-001? The lite has a date appended, the non-lite does not. Then there is exp and thinking exp...which has a date. wut?

> * Huge context window

But how well does it actually handle that context window? E.g. a lot of models support 200K context, but the LLM can only really work with ~80K or so of it before it starts to get confused.
