   Gemini is underrated in that it produces the only prose that is somewhat bearable to read.

      It's also the only model that generates accurate translation and localization. No other frontier model comes close. Although Gemini's coding capabilities are subpar, its natural language processing is top-tier.

         I’m curious how you guys keep track of each model’s coding capabilities. The landscape keeps changing. I don’t suppose you benchmark all frontier models every other month, right?

            I use them. Daily. Gemini hasn’t been a contender by comparison for a long time.

               I wonder if it's a harness thing or a model thing at this point. I feel all coding models are quite capable for most tasks I want them to do.

               Most of the time I don't need what the bench tests and I'm not really giving them completely ambiguous tasks without any refinement.

               I only find marginal differences between models at this point and it almost feels like personality quirks in each model than anything.

                  When comparing OpenAI and Claude thats pretty much true, but not Gemini... And have you tried Antigravity? Yikes

                     I've used Antigravity as my main coding agent on one of my biggest projects for about a year. It's been great for me. (and I use Claude, Codex, Grok and Muse for all the other projects)
