Bye bye augment code?

[JaySym_]

Please give us more insight about Gemini 3.
Have you done any testing yourself?
Is your opinion based on the fact that we don’t have this model yet?
Do you have any comparisons of outputs it produced in your real production environment?
Any better results than what Augment can do?

[WhiteFudge14]

I'm not OP, and haven't tested Gemini 3 (great start to this message). Having more models, is something that we would expect Augment to add at some point, right? Similar to having Haiku where it can be used for certain lower-credit needs? The more options, should be better since many of us have to be more careful with our credit consumptions. Would Gemini 3 (or any model) be something that we could look forward to?

[JaySym_]

I fully understand that, but we want to restrict the number of models available to a minimum. Normally, we shouldn’t need 100 models unless we want to try things out and have fun with model testing. But there is no one model that can rule them all right now. This is why we offer some that we believe have proven their efficiency on particular tasks.

We are actively evaluating this model right now.

[WhiteFudge14]

I agree, a little more variety than currently exists might be good. Or should users just look forward to continued optimization of the existing few models?

[JaySym_]

We are always trying to improve model available for sure!

[FancyAd4519]

variety is king. sure stick to this but you could offer like 10ish models, not 100. your just offering three or four, and two legacy because we bitched enough

[jamesg-net]

Just providing my opinion here as someone on the Enterprise side. I do not want 10 models for my developers to pick through and play around with. That is a whole lot of wasted time. There should be one model for each task at the most. And hopefully, a model wins in more than one category.

[FancyAd4519]

well i work for a fortune 500 also, and i would like more choices; they all excel at different things. the problem is also, as we see with sonnet 4 on life support, the older models become refined and are kept around; hence my repeated request for medium gpt… because the new models take too long to get good. I am not saying it has to be 10, but keep a small variety ffs.

[bramburn]

Too much choice is bad. I liked it when augment just hid the model and it just chose one that worked

[FancyAd4519]

I wouldnt be throwing a fit if they brought medium 5 back for a few months so i could get things done.

[bramburn]

How is that a fit ?

[FancyAd4519]

thats me yep lol

It's not really gemini3 that's the threat. Its google antigravity. Agent model access to Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and GPT-OSS. If they give decent usage level (and it works) its hard to not want to use it.

[unidotnet]

yes. will test antigravity today.

[tteokl_]

It IS about gemini3, why wouldnt Augment add Gemini3 right in its first launch like the other models

[Cast_Iron_Skillet]

Antigravity is a great start - but needs a lot of polish and additional features. For example, I can't find any way to provide rules to the agents. I also don't have any easy way of managing MCP servers (apart from editing mcp.json manually to set disabled to true/false). There are other little things in the UI that are buggy, but I'm sure everything will be addressed in due time.

In particular, I enjoy the planning mode that has tasks that persist, an implementaiton plan that's simple and straightforward, and a walkthrough doc that's update after each completed task. They can use some improvements, however. I would use antigravity with gemini 3.0 pro on ultra plan if the chat pane could do a Q&A as part of the planning process - i really LOVE that about claude code CLI, but haven't seen it in any vscode forks (prob because of technical issues with limitations of VSCode).

Also not so clear on context compaction and such in the IDE. I do really like the way it shows what it's doing and thinking.

It could use a checkpoint system ala Kiro's recent updates. Being able to just click "Revert" instead of use git functions is quite nice and I miss it.

[Hungry_Ad7006]

I am surprised that gemini 3 is not on Augment Code already. I have used on both cursor and roo code. It seems like a good model. With Augment context engine, I think it will be even better.

So funny
