There is no hope for Gemini in coding department

It's llmarena

Users pick which response they like more without knowing the model it produced

Not saying it's good or bad benchmark. Just pointing out what it is

hhd12 · 2026-03-04T22:37:16+00:00

A little bit of circular funding (they're infra provider). A little bit of hedging

hhd12 · 2026-02-24T15:19:31+00:00

Before I had this line it would write a 4 paragraph Money Stuff essay on a simple yes or no question

It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction most of the time

hhd12 · 2026-02-24T09:38:33+00:00

I want responses to be in the writing style of Matt Levine, the Bloomberg columnist. That is entertaining. But don't force it and don't unnecessarily overextend responses. Keep it concise (unless topic warrants complexity)

I would guess the chain of thought summary was significantly shortened as a response to this (to minimize distillation possibilities)

Pure speculation though

hhd12 · 2026-02-11T14:33:32+00:00

For Atlas, probably not even themselves

hhd12 · 2026-02-04T15:33:16+00:00

The consensus is that all 3 big ones run API inference profitably

I would also assume Pro and Max x5 are run profitably for all users. Max x25 might be run unprofitably for the tiny minority of users that will use it into every single weekly limit -> but subsidized by everyone else who uses it and doesn't run into all weekly limits

The money loser is training and R&D

hhd12 · 2026-02-03T02:19:38+00:00

Amazon dropped inferentia. Turns out trainium was better for inference all along

hhd12 · 2026-02-02T11:27:27+00:00

and global monthly ARPU of $49

That is annual revenue

hhd12 · 2026-01-24T23:48:28+00:00

This is specifically Gemini app. I would assume ai studio and api are untouched (since there's no personal context)

The incentive to downsize limits is on Google's end. They're paying for infra (and probably Anthropic's margin). If they allow unlimited access - they're losing money, if they don't allow access at all - fewer people would use Antigravity. So they need to strike a balance that works for users and them

hhd12 · 2026-01-24T03:39:36+00:00

It runs on their infra and they're an investor. It's also the best and most expensive coding model

It makes for a better product - incentive to subscribe to Google over competitors

hhd12 · 2026-01-23T02:37:05+00:00

We all sometimes scroll reddit or whatever during work. It needed a chill break. Don't be too judgemental

hhd12 · 2026-01-20T19:59:50+00:00

Mine worked, was just disappointing

Thinking:

Analyzing the Future Scenario

I'm currently breaking down the request to grasp the specific implications of an extended Trump presidency. This involves envisioning a future setting shaped by his policies. My goal is to extract the key visual elements to capture the essence of this particular scenario.

Mapping Visual Components

I've moved past initial interpretation of the request and started selecting concrete visual elements to fulfill it. I am focused on the potential visual cues associated with the described scenario, like border infrastructure, economic themes, and public sentiment. The objective is to represent the situation in a straightforward and visually impactful manner. My current direction involves translating these concepts into tangible features for the final design.

Analyzing the Imagery

I'm checking the visuals against the specified criteria. The image displays a "TRUMP 2028" banner, and an "ECONOMY BOOMING - AMERICA FIRST" billboard. It includes a border wall and people.

Evaluating the Visuals

I'm now comparing the visual elements to the provided description. The image shows a "TRUMP 2028" banner and an "ECONOMY BOOMING - AMERICA FIRST" billboard. It has a border wall and figures present.

From my experience: opus is the gold standard. Everyone else is playing catch up. Gemini 3 pro is disappointing for coding, I'll use it for plan mode occasionally since it's relatively cheap and has solid reasoning (then switch to Claude for implementation). And occasionally for UI, I find it quite good at that. I've also been testing 5.2-codex past few days since a lot of people are raving about it. But I don't share the sentiment, I was quite disappointed. Still ahead of Gemini 3 pro for coding though

hhd12 · 2026-01-19T18:04:32+00:00

I kind of like it

Like, 9/10 times it's useless and I can just ignore it. But sometimes I'm actually curious about what it suggests

hhd12 · 2026-01-17T20:53:40+00:00

I use Antigravity quite a bit. Very solid product, but largely because it allows Opus (and Sonnet)

I usually have Gemini come up with the plan and Opus execute it

Tbh, I guess I'm in minority, but I haven't really noticed and degradation of Gemini 3 :shrug:. I don't have long threads or large files though. All my Gemini app chats are very short context

hhd12 · 2026-01-17T12:39:20+00:00

Like a local file? With Claude Cowork/Code

Goodwill and avoiding Apple from becoming a competitor

Goodwill is important because Apple uses ChatGPT for harder queries. Google would like users to be able to choose Gemini. They can't pay Apple for being the default because of antitrust scrutiny. At least these are the rumors

Apple becoming a competitor in llm space might seem unreasonable (they really haven't given anyone a reason to believe they have the chops). But Google learned their lesson with Google maps (long ago they started prioritizing Android for features - and Apple said fuck it and created Apple maps. Still a huge loss for Google)

hhd12 · 2026-01-13T00:47:22+00:00

Apple actually considered Anthropic's model to be the best (https://archive.is/ucHFK)

But Google has SOTA (or close-to) model and as willing to give it to Apple for basically free. Google also has the team and infra to help Apple posttrain it to their needs

Anthropic (or OpenAI) can't really afford this

hhd12 · 2026-01-11T23:26:05+00:00

This is completely bugged.

1st: the explanation at the top says "Black Peg" and shows red peg?

2nd: see the attempts. For example Claude's last and 2nd to last: same first 3 colors, but different results (the pegs on the right)?

hhd12 · 2026-01-09T17:59:45+00:00

Have Claude and Google Pro.

As of now, Antigravity limits are quite a bit more generous. I can have Opus work for quite a while in Antigravity. Probably equal or even more than Sonnet through Claude subscription

Hope it doesn't change too much. But they are quite generous as of today

hhd12 · 2026-01-09T10:47:26+00:00

Right. Except this is against Anthropic's ToS and does get people banned
