I don't think it would be a good idea to publish it on a prime source of training data.

He could post an encrypted version and post the key with it to avoid it being trained on?

I wouldn't underestimate the intelligence of agentic AI, despite how stupid they are today.

Still cheaper than Sonnet 4.5: $3/M for input and $15/M for output.

It is so impressive that Anthropic has been able to maintain this pricing still.

Claude is just so good. Every time I try moving to ChatGPT or Gemini, they end up making concerning decisions. Trust is earned, and Claude has earned a lot of trust from me.

Honestly Google models have this mix of smart/dumb that is scary. Like if the universe is turned into paperclips then it'll probably be Google model.

How long does it typically take after this to become available on https://gemini.google.com/app ? I would like to try the model, wondering if it's worth setting up billing or waiting. At the moment trying to use it in AI Studio (on the Free tier) just gives me "Failed to generate content, quota exceeded: you have reached the limit of requests today for this model. Please try again tomorrow."

It's available in cursor. Should be there pretty soon as well.

are you sure its available in cursor? ( I get: We're having trouble connecting to the model provider. This might be temporary - please try again in a moment. )

I think I am in this AI fatigue phase. I am past all hype with models, tools and agents and back to problem and solution approach, sometimes code gen with AI , sometimes think and ask for a piece of code. But not offloading to AI and buying all the bs, waiting it to do magic with my codebase.

And by this time next year, this comment is going to look very silly

Gemini has been so far behind agentically it's comical. I'll be giving it a shot but it has a herculean task ahead of itself. It has to not only be "good enough" but a "quantum leap forward".

That said, OpenAI was in the same place earlier in the year and very quickly became the top agentic platform with GPT-5-Codex.

The AI crowd is surprisingly not sticky. Coders quickly move to whatever the best model is.

Excited to see Gemini making a leap here.

Combining structured outputs with search is the API feature I was looking for. Honestly crazy that it wasn’t there to start with - I have a project that is mostly Gemini API but I’ve had to mix in GPT-5 just for this feature.

I still use ChatGPT and Codex as a user but in the API project I’ve been working on Gemini 2.5 Pro absolutely crushed GPT-5 in the accuracy benchmarks I ran.

As it stands Gemini is my de facto standard for API work and I’ll be following very closely the performance of 3.0 in coming weeks.

I truly do not understand what plan to use so I can use this model for longer than ~2 minutes. Using Anthropic or OpenAI's models are incredibly straightforward -- pay us per month, here's the button you press, great. Where do I go for this for these Google models?

I am paying for AI ultra - no idea how to use it in the CLI. It says i dont‘t have access. The google admin/payment backend is pure evil. What a mess.

I've been so happy to see Google wake up. Many can point to a long history of killed products and soured opinions but you can't deny theyve been the great balancing force (often for good) in the industry. - Gmail vs Outlook - Drive vs Word - Android vs iOS - Worklife balance and high pay vs the low salary grind of before. Theyve done heaps for the industry. Im glad to see signs of life. Particularly in their P/E whic…

Something about bringing balance to the force not destroying it.

Claude is still a better agent for software professionals though it is less capable, so there isn't nothing to having the incumbent advantage.

"AI Overviews now have 2 billion users every month." "Users"? Or people that get presented with it and ignore it?

Maybe you ignore it, but Google has stated in the past that click-through rates with AI overviews are way down. To me, that implies the 'user' read the summary and got what they needed, such that they didn't feel the need to dig into a further site (ignoring whether that's a good thing or not).

I'd be comfortable calling a 'user' anyone who clicked to expand the little summary. Not sure what else you'd call them.
