Ten days ago I had an experience with Gemini 3.8 flash that made me wonder if I was being routed to a different model under test. I was trying to use rocm with llama.cpp on my 128gb Strix Halo but could only get it to run Vulkan. I pasted the error message into agy and it proceeded to attach GDB to my GPU driver, reverse-engineer the kernel queue ioctl interface, and author an LD_PRELOAD C shim to get ROCm llama.cpp working on my Strix Halo. My jaw was hanging open the whole time.
Edit to add the fix: <a href="https://gist.github.com/birep/6f2c8d490c7a29820997d57bd654c351" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/birep/6f2c8d490c7a29820997d57bd654c3...
3.8 Flash is just quite good, and so is the Antigravity harness.
I use a mix of Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, and Gemini 3.8 Flash and Gemini holds it's own. Especially in writing, frontend, and sysadmin work. agy for configuring a NixOS system has been truly incredible.
What basic features are missing from agy? I've been using it and cli-cc + web-cc for months (among a few other random harnesses to test here and there) and they all seem roughly comparable to me.
I actually just cancelled Ultra also because I couldn't subscribe to a YouTube Family plan while I had it active (Google... :[) but trying to use Codex as a replacement while I testdrive Astra makes me yearn for agy again.
No auto mode is the thing that bothers me, I don't trust the cli blindly nor do I trust myself to read every python script it throws at me. Auto mode is an acceptable middle ground in my experience
you could use an ai governance agent if you don't want to manually review every script. and if you already use any which ones do you think are the most recommendable?

I cancelled Ultra because they forced me into their harness like I should adapt to them, rather than the other way around.
