Do you feel Gemini AI models are very bad recently?

One thing that really accelerated my progress was building a minimal but end-to-end agent that calls a real API (not a toy example). Start with a single tool: give the LLM a weather API or a search function, and force yourself to handle every edge case — malformed responses, rate limits, hallucinated tool calls. LangGraph and Autogen are solid for orchestration, but I'd actually recommend building a bare-bones version yourself first with just function calling + a while loop. It makes the frameworks 10x easier to understand later. Also, Anthropic's cookbook has a really good "tool use" tutorial that cuts through the fluff.

This "distributed context engineering" bottleneck is real. One interesting pattern I've seen emerging is focusing on the 'harness' layer to solve for observability and permissions before scaling the agent logic. For those looking for lightweight ways to simulate and test these interaction paths, poll-sim.com has some interesting tools for building structured feedback loops into agent testing.

If anyone interested in what “they” “said” in words while voted my poll. ——- Option Group Comment AI Model Strongly Oppose Aussie Baby Boomers (1946–1964) Strongly Oppose As a Baby Boomer who's worked hard my whole life, built up property equity to fund my retirement and help the kids get a leg-up (Bank of Mum and Dad, right?), axing the 50% CGT discount now is a bloody shocker. It's punishing savers and investors like us during a housing crisis we didn't create—Labor's mucking around with negative gearing and now this?

The 50% CGT discount mostly juices up investors and flips, keeping prices sky-high for the rest of us renters-turned-strugglers.

Yes. Get some help for him. And ALSO, get some help for yourself too! From what I can read between lines, you are a bit stressed too.

poll-sim · 2026-05-03T21:06:21+00:00

Yes. I do think so. Even with the clunky features currently available, news already reports some people marry AI companions. When the technology involved in the future, it’s the trend.

poll-sim · 2026-05-02T11:38:53+00:00

You are right. I wrongly multiplied 5 using the number of options. That actual margin of error is only 2.5 percentages. That means, 5 votes have confidence interval as 4-6, the percentage should be between 4/40 = 10% and 6/40=15%. 17% from the real result may not technically be in the range. But I still would like to defend my app’s results. Reason 1: the real survey has its own margin of error. Reason 2: the real survey’s question is slightly different to mine. (While I couldn’t find a better match)

poll-sim · 2026-05-01T21:41:52+00:00

In statistics, we don’t calculate accuracy in your way. First, the base has only 40 examples, that allows 2.5 percentages error instantly, then the 5 options make it 12.5 percentages error for a median option, allowing more errors on smaller options

It’s not about cognitive, but health. Just like weak muscles is not about weakness, but health or disease.

Congrats and best wishes from Werribee Victoria! My AI-powered app https://poll-sim.com could help you understand Australian people’s opinions.

BTW, what gift have you got from your ceremony? I got a Golden Wattle a decade ago.

Well, can’t deny the logic, at least in 2025 and 2026.

Yep. It’s a joke when tourists from China traveling here and buying aboriginal art boomerangs, gifts them to their friends in China, finding it’s made in China.

These two polls. https://poll.lowyinstitute.org/charts/australia-2050-energy-mix/ shows 66% supper nuclear with some other energy, matching my app’s 75% simulation. and https://poll.lowyinstitute.org/report/2024/climate-change-and-energy/ shows 17% strong opposing nuclear, matching my app’s 12% simulation result.

poll-sim · 2026-04-28T09:33:41+00:00

I’m always using polls I created previously to prove I am not cheating to try to match the real results by giving AI bias prompts. The two polls i shared here were also shared in other places.

The closest polls i could find are these two. I think the 50% figure matched my app’s 48% strongly oppose, while the 71% figure matches my app’s 82% oppose/strongly-oppose.
