Ladies and Gentlemen, Here's Gemini Deep Think when prompted with: "Create a svg of a pelican riding on a bicycle" https://www.svgviewer.dev/s/5R5iTexQ Beat Simon Willison to it :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It doesn't, it's not "1000 Gemini Pro" requests for free, Google misled everyone. It's 1000 Gemini requests, Flash included. You get like 5-7 Gemini Pro requests before you get limited.
I'm getting 100 Gemini Pro requests per day with an AI Studio API key that doesn't have billing enabled. After that it's bumped down to Flash, which is surpisingly effective in Gemini CLI. If I need Pro, I just swap in an API from an account with billing enabled, but usually 100 requests is enough for a day of work.
Been using Gemini for a few months, somehow it's gotten much, much worse in that time. Hallucinations are very common, and it will argue with you when you point it out. So, don't have much confidence.
Pro is frustrating because it too often won't search to find current information, and just gives stale results from before its training cutoff. Flash doesn't do this much anymore.
For coding I use Pro in Gemini CLI. It is amazing at coding, but I'm actually using it more to write design docs, decomp multi-week assignments down to daily and hourly tasks, and then feed those docs back to Gemini CLI to have it work through each task sequentially.
With a little structure like this, it can basically write its own context.

Are they aggressively quantizing, or are our expectations silently increasing ?
I started doing some experimentation with this new Deep Think agent, and after five prompts I reached my daily usage limit. For $250 USD/mo that’s what you’ll be getting folks. It’s just bizarrely uncompetitive with o3-pro and Grok 4 Heavy. Anecdotally (from my experience) this was the one feature that enthusiasts in the AI community were interested in to justify the exorbitant price of Google’s Ultra subscription. I…
But yes, Google should have figured that out and used a less expensive mode of reasoning.
You can spin up a version of this at home using simonw's LLM cli with the llm-consortium plugin. Bonus 1: Use any combination of models. Mix n match models from any lab. Bonus 2: Serve your custom consortium on a local API from a single command using the llm-model-gateway plugin and use it in your apps and coding assistants. https://x.com/karpathy/status/1870692546969735361 > uv tool install llm llm install llm-conso…
