    I don’t understand good experiences people are having with Gemini. It’s the only model that sometimes loses/forgets context in literally next message. Plus feeding unasked product links to responses.

      I agree. Lot's of people really like it. For me it often just forgets all context and starts showing random slop. It's super clear as, when I ask it what happened to some element earlier in the conversation it tells me it does not have that. It might be good if it told me, but randomly lose the plot is quite frustrating.

      Claude does it occasionally but it's a more a soft landing earlier context seems to be compacted, not completely lose the plot.

      I just cancelled my pro subscription. I really wanted it to be good but not yet.
