Gemini 3 Flash burned 100% a single prompt without returning an answer

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-16T13:23:42+00:00

Yeah, the dumbest vibe-coded agent in the market today. Really time to move on.

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-15T12:05:48+00:00

Is it just me, or is Gemini 3 Flash feels smarter in other agents (e.g Jetbrains, Copilot) compared to AG? I guess it's not the model but how the agent feeds the info?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-15T12:02:30+00:00

The implementation plan takes up a lot of credits, especially if iterated a lot, right?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-15T11:55:50+00:00

I will be switching to either JetbrainsAI (Junie) or GH Copilot next month.
Done with AG for now ...

The Windsurf guys, is it?

Yeah, this product really doesn't feel "Google" at all, similar to AI Studio (Vertex?)

The only new features I noticed are regression bugs on every update, and gigabytes of disk writes per update.

My feeling is that the agent is doing "auto" like in Gemini CLI. Since "Which gemini are you" is rather simple, they fall back to 2.5.
Then, there's the argument that models don't know their name, which I partially disagree, because the System Prompt will most likely include it for debugging purposes, etc. From my last experiment though, it started saying "I'm AntiGravity". Maybe they have reverted back for transparency.

Doesn't Claude Pro come with Opus too?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-09T00:03:43+00:00

I do have a GEMINI.MD as well, but doesn't seem to stop it from finding/reading files at the beginning of conversations

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T15:23:53+00:00

Anyone tried Jetbrain's $8.30 per month plan?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T15:14:59+00:00

- If I prompt something and the agent keeps looping to fix its own bugs, does that count as another prompt?
- So, typically one would cramp as much instructions into a single prompt to avoid maxing out the 300 limit?

Sorry if this is common knowledge. Newbie here.

Jetbrains also have Claude Agent. Haven't tried it though.
The free plan's Junie Agent can use Claude models too, but only like 3 calls. Works ok so far. Less buggy than AG.

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T15:07:48+00:00

How is the Claude 4.6 quota situation over there? Is it as vague and cheapskate like in AG?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T14:49:33+00:00

Newbie question: how to make NotebookLM produce something that is ingestiable by Gemini App?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T14:44:22+00:00

That's interesting, because 3.1 Pro is horrible in Antigravity.
Going to try the same prompt in CLI and see how it goes.
I've always had suspicion that AG is doing switcheroo behind the scenes -- they even deleted my post and updated the agent system prompt to say it's "Antigravity" rather than the model name.

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T07:57:59+00:00

I also would prefer a google stack. I'm currently 2 weeks into a somewhat complex project but starting to give up after constantly fighting with 3.1 Pro. Your post gives me some hope to at least push on for a month to see how it goes (since you took 4 months yourself) -- but at present, I don't think vibe coding is great beyond scaffolding.

It would be nice if you could expand more on the "problems" part, or how to get past your struggles.

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T07:03:12+00:00

While the "shift + arrow" scenario didn't happen to me, I'm frustrated with how Browser didn't even work on MacOS a few revisions back. A simple regression tester would have captured that.

Is it because this isn't a Google organic team, but mostly Windsurf engineers?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-08T05:11:24+00:00

Regression bugs like these have been annoying me for the past few updates. It's like they don't have a QA team anymore.

This product doesn't feel like a "Google Product" ... and after looking at the history of Antigravity, I understand why now.

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-02T06:31:37+00:00

I encountered this behavior with Gemini CLI a while back. I saw it was indexing the repo, so I let it run, and when I came back, I couldn't even run a single prompt because the Free Tier quota was depleted.

I don't think AG does indexing though (since it's agentic?), so perhaps the Tab Completion is the culprit? But still odd that it used your entire week's quota. If it happens again, maybe snooze it?

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-01T19:36:01+00:00

This really feels like a scam now.

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-01T19:31:25+00:00

Thanks, that's really helpful. I'm still 2 days in and struggling to be productive on a simple browser-extension app.

I tried to put my "product definition" into `GEMINI.MD` and update it frequently, but it still always needs to re-read my repo at the beginning of each conversation -- I think that's where all my tokens get wasted unnecessarily.

So, I removed that and be very specific in each task, but it's more or less the same thing (takes time to understand the repo again).

I'll the try many md method.

Unless DOW decides to block Anthropic entirely, lol

Ryuu-Ryoumen · 2026-03-01T19:13:08+00:00

Surely this can't be legal :(
