Is there a less biased discussion? The OP link is a thinly veiled and biased advert for something called composio and really a biased and overly flowery view of Gemini 2.5 pro. Example: “Everyone’s talking about this model on Twitter (X) and YouTube. It’s trending everywhere, like seriously. The first model from Google to receive such fanfare. And it is #1 in the LMArena just like that. But what does this mean? It me…

I don't see it.

Composio is a tool to help integration of LLM tool calling / MCPs. It really helped me streamline setting up some MCPs with Claude desktop.

I don't see how pushing Gemini would help their business beyond encouraging people to play with the latest and greatest models. There's a 1 sentence call-to-action at the end which is pretty tame for a company blog.

The examples don't even require you to use Composio - they're just talking about prompts fed to different models, not even focused on tool calling, MCPs, or the Composio platform.

Theo video detected = opinion rejected Also I generally dislike thinking models for coding and prefer faster models, so if you have something easy gemini 2.0 is good

Absolute golden age YouTube brain rot. I had to disable the youtube sidebar with a custom style because just seeing these thumbnails and knowing some stupid schmuck is clicking on them like an ape when they do touchscreen experiments really lowers my mood.

If it's not astroturfing, the people who are so vocal about it act in a way that's nearly indistinguishable from it. I keep looking for concrete examples of use cases that show it's better, and everything seems to point back to "everyone is talking about it" or anecdotal examples that don't even provide any details about the problem that Gemini did well on and that other models all failed at.

Here is a real coding problem that I might be willing to make a cash-prize contest for. We'd need to nail down some rules. I'd be shocked if any LLM can do this:

https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1414

Make a GTK 4 version of Solvespace. We have a single C++ file for each platform - Windows, Mac, and Linux-GTK3. There is also a QT version on an unmerged branch for reference. The GTK3 file is under 2KLOC. You do not need to create a new version, just rewrite the GTK3 Linux version to GTK4. You may either ask it to port what's there or create the new one from scratch.

If you want to do this for free to prove how great the AI is, please document the entire session. Heck make a YouTube video of it. The final test is weather I accept the PR or not - and I WANT this ticket done.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

Gemini is the only model which tells me when it's a good time to stop chatting because either it can't find a solution or because it dislikes my solution (when I actively want to neglect security). And the context length is just amazing. When ChatGPT's context is full, it totally forgets what we were chatting about, as if it would start an entirely new chat. Gemini lacks the tooling, there ChatGPT is far ahead, but a…

I'm still using ChatGPT heavily for a lot of my day-to-day, across multiple projects and random real life tasks. I'm interested in giving Claude and Gemini a good at some point; where is Gemini's tooling lacking, generally?

Break it down into smaller problems.

A chance for all those coding assistant companies like Devin to show their mettle!
