Nitpick, but in my opinion an LLM is an "it", not a "her" or "he". Using male or female pronouns risks anthropomorphizing them which can lead to unhealthy outcomes.
Well, my LLM is a "he". > Using male or female pronouns risks anthropomorphizing them which can lead to unhealthy outcomes. Ditto for pets.

#512People have been sleeping on Gemini lately but these last few Flash releases (which were very rapid) are damn good. These sort of fast and cheap models are great for tasks that are verifiable and can be retried infinitely (like coding), you can basically get frontier results with a good harness (at a fraction of the time and money).
As someone who has stubbornly stuck with Claude Code, what's a good harness for Gemini models?

#513this is cool for all other non coding task. however I am still stuck on 3.6 flash on my gemini web as a plus user, can anyone else even access 3.7 flash in AU?

#516We've gotten an unusually fast speed of Gemini Flash releases over the past few months. Is this Recursive Self Improvement, or Google just trying to distract from the fact that it's been a while since the last Gemini Pro release?

#517Not to rain on anyone's parade but I find it strange how excited and giddy people on HN get for any new X.X model releases. Pumping it straight to the top, clamoring to use it, check and compare benchmarks, bragging about it being your "daily driver"? Are you people truly this excited about this crap? I mean I guess if you work for Google or Anthropic or whatever I could see it??? Otherwise, are these just bot commen…
I am a light user so I don't get the shakes when my monthly azure dev credits run out but I would be susceptible to being addicted to it if I was on a subscription with generous usage allowance and random usage counter resets.

Antigravity is probably the best of the bunch I've tried. I'd say it's pretty comparable to Claude Code (I use both daily).
Antigravity which lacks an auto approve mode? Not really comparable to Claude Code when you're looking to run a team of agents from my experience.

The blog post says it is RSI: “both of today's releases are … accelerated by long-running agentic loops designed to recursively evaluate and refine the underlying models.”

I prefer luna for most development, especially when I am guiding the process. Sometimes terra. I have had terrible results coding with sol. It is way over-tuned on RL to make something that completes the task, no matter what. I end up with way too much code that does a lot of things I didn't ask for.
I setup Luna as main Claude Code driver (so zero anthropic api use) and it nailed crisply a handful of python tasks, gonna continue this way.
