It's already much improved on the early days. But I wonder when we'll be happy? Do we expect colleagues friends and family to be 100% laser-accurate 100% of the time? I'd wager we don't. Should we expect that from an artificial intelligence too?
I expect my calculator to be 100% accurate 100% of the time. I have slightly more tolerance for other software having defects, but not much more.

I'm not even a designer, but I care about the consistency of UI design and whether the overall experience is well-organized, aligned properly, things are placed in a logical flow for the user, and so on.
While I'm pro-AI tooling and use it heavily, and these models usually provide a good starting point, I can't imagine shipping the slop without writing/editing a line of HTML for anything that's interaction-heavy.
Is there anything like Claude code for other models such as gemini?
My frustration with using these models for programming in the past has largely been around their tendency to hallucinate APIs that simply don't exist. The Gemini 2.5 models, both pro and flash, seem significantly less susceptible to this than any other model I've tried. There are still significant limitations, no amount of prompting will get current models to approach abstraction and architecture the way a person doe…
I have been asking if AI without hallucination, coding or not is possible but so far with no real concrete answer.

Making LLMs know what they don't know is a hard problem. Many attempts at making them refuse to answer what they don't know caused them to refuse to answer things they did in fact know.
Are we sure they know these things as opposed to being able to consistently guess correctly? With LLMs I'm not sure we even have a clear definition of what it means for it to "know" something.

Production quality code is defensive. Probably trained on a lot of google code.
Does the code consist of many large try except blocks that catch "Exception", which Gemini seems to like doing, (I thought it was a bad practice to catch the generic Exception in Python)
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but every time I ask gemini 2.5 for code it outputs SO MANY comments. An exaggerated amount of comments. Sections comments, step comments, block comments, inline comments, all the gang.

You can do this with https://openrouter.ai/
but if you want to use google SDK (python-genai, js-genai) rather than openai SDK (If found google api more feature rich when using different modality like audio/images/video) you cannot use openrouter. Also not sure if you are developing app and needs higher rate limits - what's typical rate limit via openrouter?

i'm surprised by no line of css html in months. maybe it's an exageration and that's okay. However, just today i was building a website for fun with gemini and had to manually fix some issues with css that he struggled with. as it often happens, trying to let it repair the damage only made it go into a pit of despair (for me). i fixed the issues in about a glance and 5 minutes. This is not to say it's bad, but someti…
Tailwind (with utility classes) is the real key here. It provides a semantic layer over CSS that allows the LLM to reason about how things will actually look. Night and day difference from using stylesheets with custom classes.
