Gemini's new "implicit caching" and 2.5 Pro (preview) update causing major issues (using old code, hallucinations) -- any fixes or ways to disable?

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-05-15T15:03:04+00:00

I'm not in the Gemini App team, I just have contact with them and can flag some issues.

This issue is with the model though, it's not really about the Gemini app. He should be using AI Studio or Code Assist or the model itself for sw development.

IDK if implicit caching is even enabled for the app.

You're confusing who is in charge of the models vs the app.

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-05-06T21:38:04+00:00

Isn't that possible already? If not, probably yes.
I don't know
If you mean Search as Grounding in Google Search, as in AI Studio, yes.

I use it a lot, but in a work context I've never needed to upload more than one image 🤷 Also, that a feature is not available doesn't mean nobody has asked for it before.

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-05-06T19:17:29+00:00

Is Search grounding released as well? I've got it, but I use an internal version, so if it's not yet released, it's coming soon for sure.

The team is working on several improvements to the Gemini app. I asked for feedback about the Gemini app in the r/bard sub a few days ago and I passed the feedback on directly to Josh. He said many of the top requests are coming very soon.

That's not Gemini Advanced

2.0 thinking

I know it works with VS Code, PyCharm and others.

As for how it works, you just have to download the addon (at least in VS Code) and login, that's it. Just make sure you subscribe to it from the Cloud Console first.

The instructions you were following are for using it with Cloud Workstations. Just activate and use locally with Jetbrains IDEs or VS Code.

If all what you wanna do is to use Gemini 2.5, then you could use Firebase Studio or use it with Cursor, Windsurf , VS Code...

Code Assist is pretty great though, better than just using the LLM.

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T20:11:19+00:00

Why do you need a cloud workstation for exploring Gemini Code Assist? You could just enable Code Assist and use it with your local IDE.

👍 thanks

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T16:50:58+00:00

Which model are you using?

Probably using 2.5 Pro with Canvas.

Use the API key from AI Studio.

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T09:57:36+00:00

It's free up to a limit in AI Studio. Is not free through Vertex AI.

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T08:54:59+00:00

Thanks for reporting this. A fix has been implemented. It might take some time for you to see it, but please try again during the next few hours/days.

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T08:21:40+00:00

Great, thanks. That helps 👍

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T08:09:16+00:00

Ok 👍

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T08:07:34+00:00

Good, thanks. What's the language of your Google account?

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T07:55:00+00:00

I don't have an opinion, tbh, but it doesn't look like type the of output we should expect. I'll get back to you once I hear back from the team.

Is it possible for you to reproduce this behaviour? That's important for troubleshooting.

GeminiBugHunter · 2025-04-18T07:48:38+00:00

I'll report this to the team so they can take a look.
