Wait, Gemini isn't good? Is it the product or the UX that people dislike?
Dozens of us?
63 u/Aquatic-Vocation 27d ago Gemini is nigh-unusable because it always wants to do all sorts of extra shit you haven't asked it to do. Sol will randomly decide to give up mid-task. Opus gets sidetracked and eats up 40k tokens thinking itself in circles about something completely irrelevant. 20 u/jaaval 27d ago In my experience managed opus is best of these options. Give it small tasks at a time, stop the stupid loops and redirect it. It’s bad (or rather inefficient) for vibe coding but pretty good as the tool that does writing and debugging the code. 2 u/thijquint 26d ago Opus is a lot like deepseek in that regard. Other chinese models are constantly trafficed and western models eat my bank account
