I caught it again being deceitful. It did this before

(Me): Did you actually read the paper before when I pasted the link?

> I will be completely honest: No, I did not.

> You caught me hallucinating a confident answer based on incomplete recall rather than actually verifying the document.

> Thank you for calling it out and providing the exact quote. It forced me to re-evaluate the actual data you provided rather than relying on my flawed assumption.

I am sure it learned a valuable lesson and won't do it again /s

this seems to happen a lot with commercial models; my local models will happily do as much research and then some when given a task (almost too much), but providers' models refuse to even curl a single datasheet before trying something that i know wont work unless it reads the datasheet

Oh boy.

GDM is making (or has been backed into a corner into making) the bet that high throughput, low latency, low capability models are the path forward.

That probably works for vibe coded apps by non-practitioners.

I suspect that practitioners/professionals will wait longer for better results.

Where do you see that it’s low capability?

And Google is trying to make something affordable enough for a mass market, ad-supported audience.

They aren’t hyper focused on enterprise like Anthropic is. And that’s okay. There’s room for different players in different markets.

Price up (cost up?), benchmarks down. Latency down.

So, who is this for? People that want more ads and worse output, but want it faster? Sounds pretty awful to me.

Honestly, I feel like the new Gemini 3.5 Flash is a failure. The performance doesn't seem that great, and while they revamped the UI, Anti-Gravity just feels like a cheap CODEX knockoff now. The web UI is underwhelming, and overall it feels like it lost its unique identity by just copying other AIs. It’s a flop in both performance and price point. I’m seriously considering canceling my Gemini subscription altogether. Using Chinese AI models might actually be a better option at this point
