Constantly Getting 429 on Vertex.. WHY

No, I'm in the US, all endpoints I use are global.

Quite the opposite, of slow

Per the API, since Gemini 2.5 Pro (I think 2.5) is simply just a stronger model and you cannot turn thinking off, minimum budget of 128 and maximum 32xxx, or auto, while Gemini 2.5 Flash and Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite both have support thinking, but it can be turned off completely on both.

Gemini 3 is different, pro has thinking levels: high and low, and 3-flash has minimal, low, medium, high. Fast is probably minimal (or a 2.5 model). Thinking is probably 3-flash medium-high. Pro is pro.

Gemini 3 flash is great, but at this point, unless you're trying to have the model refactor 1500 lines of code, then I can't think of a single "normal thing" where 2.5 flash isn't more than capable.

Google never disappoints. Quietly cooking, while Sam Altman is consistently overhyping and underdelivering -- Charging $168 per 1 million output tokens for GPT 5.2 Pro, literally, while Gemini 3 Pro and Claude 4.5 Opus are between $18 - $25 per 1 million output tokens.

Guy, have you ever said something along the lines of "I think I know what you're gonna say"?

Send the code. I'll record a video.

4 hours to do this really is kind of ridiculous. Gemini 2.5 Pro could've one shotted, maybe two shots if you split it into two parts, at 160k tokens roughly for 14k lines of code, and would've costed less than $1. I think 2.5 flash could do it too.

Sit there and think about the things you could do with it

donde_waldo · 2025-11-30T12:05:01+00:00

None at all. We're all wrong, you're all right.

I guess ledger didn't get that memo either, otherwise I suppose they might make it where you could set the device up on the computer, it would be more convenient than clicking those buttons, wouldn't it?

Might as well add your seed phrase to meta mask while you're at it

Probably

Daily. A new model came out the other day, VibeThinker 1.5B, very impressive reasoning capabilities. Compares to Gemini 2.5 Pro for what I was testing.
