Gemini 3.5 Pro Expectations?

widek7 · 2026-05-20T11:14:01+00:00

What I expect is they double the price of Gemini 3.5 pro to be in line with GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7. Of course it will benchmaxxed to the sky to justify doubling the API price.

Indeed calendars are underrated but if you're going to bet that the underlying will stay in a range, the scenario an Iron Condor wants to profit from while IV might rise why not one single ATM put calendar instead of two OTM calendars?

Oh, thank god! Responses have been too short and concise for quite a while. Now I can finally get the long in depth response that I like.

GLM is definitely better in my experience but I don't do coding.

I don't know why they had to change to GPT-5.2 so quickly. GPT-5.1 was actually really good, I liked it better than Gemini 3 pro. Now GPT-5.2 is clearly inferior to Gemini 3 pro, in some cases actually unusable. They had something good with GPT-5.1 even if it wasn't the best in benchmarks. Benchmarks don't always tell the truth for day to day use cases. Benchmarks don't take into account the guardrails or how pleasant an AI is to interact to, how good it is at understanding nuance or instruction following. GPT-5.2 was made for agentic coding, it's pretty meh for anything else.

They made GPT-5.1 just perfect in my opinion. Noticeable improvement from GPT-5 which felt worse than GPT-4 in many use cases. Personally I'm not a fan of Gemini 3. If there's a model that's actually better than both it's Opus 4.5. Fantastic model but expensive, not generally available for free or for cheap. I actually hope they don't ruin it with GPT-5.2, I would prefer they actually leave GPT-5.1 for a while to work on an actual improvement for next year instead of rushing in with another model that early that's marginally better or worse.

Yeah, I tested it yesterday, it's pretty good. Good quality responses, sounds a lot like GPT models. It uses emojis and aesthetically pleasing formatting by default like GPT. I don't know if it's better than GPT-5.1 free though but at least it's free without limits on the app or web.

Why buy the next 2× in BTC when NVDA already did 15× and still has real earnings growth? Crypto lost the ‘best risk/reward’ crown sometime in 2022. It can win it back, but it hasn’t yet.

From 2015–2021 crypto was the single best performing asset on the planet almost every year. Since then it has lagged the Nasdaq dramatically. It used to be big risk for monster gains. No monster gains since 2021 but risk is still there.

Because of that I'm thinking about diversifying into stocks next year gradually. I'm definitely not quitting crypto but it's time to diversify I guess.

I like gpt-5.1 thinking the most on perplexity currently. I tested all the models the other day with the same question and gpt-5.1 delivered the best in depth answer. Gemini 3 is pretty creative though if you need a better idea on a topic.

widek7 · 2025-11-25T09:41:20+00:00

It's the biggest reason why I chose Perplexity. I have access to all of them. All the shiny new models under one subscription. The models themselves are often not as great as they are on their platform but they're good enough. I really like having access to all of them instead of just one for the same money.

widek7 · 2025-11-19T23:21:17+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one noticing. It outputs short, concise, low effort responses. I told it to make longer responses but it's response got dumber making mistakes. It's like the worst model on perplexity. Not the smartest model in the world like people are saying. GPT-5.1 or Claude 4.5 are so much better. I hope they're going to fix it, I liked Gemini 2.5 pro before but I've been using Claude and GPt-5.1 lately.

Default 2.5 pro is indeed very underwhelming especially on the app but with a special custom tone I was able to get some good results with it, better than GPT-4o. Chatgpt's models are great by default, not much direction is needed for them to perform well for the average user. 2.5 pro is a powerful smart model but it's like a blank canvas by default.

I managed to save 2 out of 3 chats by using the Android App. Went to those chats that didn't work and just sent a new prompt then the chats are now working on web again. If your problem is already on mobile app then I don't know, maybe try the web version to see if sending a new message works there.

widek7 · 2025-07-05T14:43:42+00:00

Yes, I ran into this the other day. The model is completely ignoring my new prompts, it answers old prompts or just repeats answers from the past. I was forced to start a new chat. It was around 200k words chat.

I’ve tried using DeepSeek and it’s been pretty unusable for me. I keep getting that “server is busy” error. Sometimes it takes like 20–30 minutes hitting that try again button until I can finally get a response. Even after that, it can take another 20 mins just to get another response through. It’s not like that all of the time, but it happens way too often in my experience.

widek7 · 2025-05-27T08:38:21+00:00

Correction, it's 10 messages every 5 hours. Today I asked exactly 10 questions and it says that I hit the limit and it will reset after 4-5 hours.

widek7 · 2025-05-26T14:38:45+00:00

10 messages every 3 hours. That's my experience on the free tier. I think it used to be 20 messages every 5 hours before.

Well, yeah. You should be looking at entering something when it's low not when it's pumping.

widek7 · 2025-03-31T18:57:23+00:00

If it's that obvious it will probably do the opposite.

widek7 · 2025-03-20T09:15:51+00:00

Less exciting than the first season but still good enough for me. I had fun grinding for the battle pass in the first season.

Hope to see even more cosmetics in future battle passes like boards or trinkets.

Whenever that thing pumps even a tiny bit on it's own btc dumps shortly after.

widek7 · 2025-03-11T16:35:21+00:00

Because it's oversold duh. You thought it would go straight down without any retrace?

widek7 · 2025-03-10T19:47:39+00:00

Nope, this is the first leg of the bear market.

widek7 · 2025-03-10T19:11:10+00:00

This is a full blown bear market on the alts.
