Hit the Gemini 3 quota on the second prompt in antigravity even though I'm a pro user. I highly doubt I hit a context window based on my prompt. Hopefully, it is just first day of near general availability jitters.

Out of curiosity, I gave it the latest project euler problem published on 11/16/2025, very likely out of the training data Gemini thought for 5m10s before giving me a python snippet that produced the correct answer. The leaderboard says that the 3 fastest human to solve this problem took 14min, 20min and 1h14min respectively Even thought I expect this sort of problem to very much be in the distribution of what the mo…

I also used Gemini 3 Pro Preview. It finished it 271s = 4m31s. Sadly, the answer was wrong. It also returned 8 "sources", like stackexchange.com, youtube.com, mpmath.org, ncert.nic.in, and kangaroo.org.pk, even though I specifically told it not to use websearch. Still a useful tool though. It definitely gets the majority of the insights. Prompt: https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts?state=%7B%22ids%22:%...

The requested prompt does not exist or you do not have access. If you believe the request is correct, make sure you have first allowed AI Studio access to your Google Drive, and then ask the owner to share the prompt with you.

Well, I tried a variation of a prompt I was messing with in Flash 2.5 the other day in a thread about AI-coded analog clock faces. Gemini Pro 3 Preview gave me a result far beyond what I saw with Flash 2.5, and got it right in a single shot.[0] I can't say I'm not impressed, even though it's a pretty constrained example. > Please generate an analog clock widget, synchronized to actual system time, with hands that upd…

It looks quite nice, though to nitpick, it has “quartz” and “design & engineering” for no reason.

Just like actual cheap but not bottom of the barrel clocks

I am personally impressed by the continued improvement in ARC-AGI-2, where Gemini 3 got 31.1% (vs ChatGPT 5.1's 17.6%). To me this is the kind of problem that does not lend itself well to LLMs - many of the puzzles test the kind of thing that humans intuit because of millions of years of evolution, but these concepts do not necessarily appear in written form (or when they do, it's not clear how they connect to specif…

This comment was moved from another thread. The original thread included a benchmark chart with ARC performance: https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-3/#gemini-3

To be fair a lot of the impressive Elo scores models get are simply due to the fact that they're faster: many serious competitive coders could get the same or better results given enough time. But seeing these results I'd be surprised if by the end of the decade we don't have something that is to these puzzles what Stockfish is to chess. Effectively ground truth and often coming up with solutions that would be absolu…

I’d love if anyone could provide examples of such AND(“ground truth”, “absolutely ridiculous”) solutions! Even if they took clever humans a long time to create.

I’m curious to explore such fun programming code. But I’m also curious to explore what knowledgeable humans consider to be both “ground truth” as well as “absolutely ridiculous” to create within the usual time constraints.

Understanding precisely why Gemini 3 isn't front of the pack on SWE Bench is really what I was hoping to understand here. Especially for a blog post targeted at software developers...

It doesn't matter, the real benchmark is taking the community temperature on the model after a few weeks of usage.

>"It doesn't matter, the real benchmark is taking the community temperature on the model after a few weeks of usage."

Indeed. It's almost impossible to truly know a model before spending a few million tokens on a real world task. It will take a step-change level advancement at this point for me to trust anything but Claude right now.

They're not a moral entity. corporations aren't people. I think a lot of the harms you mentioned are real, but they're a natural consequence of capitalistic profit chasing. Governments are supposed to regulate monopolies and anti-consumer behavior like that. Instead of regulating surveillance capitalism, governments are using it to bypass laws restricting their power. If I were a google investor, I would absolutely w…

Why should the collective of voters be any more of a moral entity than the collective of people who make up a corporation (which you may include its shareholders in if you want)? It’s perfectly valid to criticize corporations for their actions, regardless of the regulatory environment.

Because of the inherent capitalism structure that leads to the inevitable: the tragedy of the commons.

Wow so the polymarket insider bet was true then.. https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1oz6gjp/new...

These prediction markets are so ripe for abuse it's unbelievable. People need to realize there are real people on the other side of these bets. Brian Armstong, CEO of Coinbase intentionally altered the outcome of a bet by randomly stating "Bitcoin, Ethereum, blockchain, staking, Web3" at the end of an earnings call. These types of bets shouldn't be allowed.

For the kind of person playing these sorts of games, that actually really "hype".

I make my own automated benchmarks

Is there a tool / website that makes this process easy?

I coded it bun and openrouter(dot)ai. I have an array of benchmarks, each benchmark has a grader (for example, checking if it equals a certain string or grade the answer automatically using another LLM). Then I save all results to a file and render the percentage correct to a graph

Your benchmarks should not involve IP.

The only intellectual property here would be trademark. No copyright, no patent, no trade secret. Unless someone wants to market the test results as a genuine Pac-Man-branded product, or otherwise dilute that brand, there's nothing should-y about it.

It's not an ethics thing. It's a guardrails thing.
