I use them. Daily. Gemini hasn’t been a contender by comparison for a long time.
I did a test involving implementing cobol control flow in Java for a source to source translation project. Gemini was the only model to get the edge cases. Cobol is very peculiar in this regard.
I wonder when/if we’ll see Gemini beating Fable and Astra. Last year I would have confidently bet Google will overtake the others just because they have the data, the hardware (TPUs) and a fat advertising money pipe and yet they are still behind. Anyone anonymous at Google want to hint when Gemini 4 will be out?
these are essentially monthly releases, the dated releases that Deepseek and Qwen do make more sense

I was surprised when (finally) trying out Claude how much I preferred Gemini's way of communicating. I wont argue Claude is better at coding, but for knowledge work, I had to dig through Claude output to find what I actually wanted. At times, it even felt borderline incomprehensible.
Opus specifically talks as if having a stroke. 4.6 was the last version that was pleasant to work with

Not in the principled sense you mean but I have in fact recently started having Gemini explain to me what Claude is talking to me about, lol.
BTW, as kind of a follow-up to this, I think the most important finding to report--for those who only use one model, as many people seem to--is just how much more often Claude seems to be extremely confidently (and even insufferably) wrong than any of the other three big models (all of which I use quite often... yet I only pull out Claude when I've given up hope in a problem and are looking for out-of-the-box brainst…

When comparing OpenAI and Claude thats pretty much true, but not Gemini... And have you tried Antigravity? Yikes
The CLI version of agy is great. Have you tried it?
My first language is Afrikaans, which is a somewhat niche language and hard to find teachers/conversation buddies outside South Africa. (I live in USA now) I've been using Gemini to live chat in Afrikaans and do impromptu Afrikaans grammar lessons during my solo drives around town. It is phenomenal at speaking the language - like, it really shocks my family members when they hear it. This is probably the most joy I g…
I love Gemini in Google Maps for long drives. I start getting bored of music and podcasts and start grilling it with random questions I've always wondered about.

I've been building a language learning app which uses AI voice chat to let people practice. Would that be something interesting for you to try out? It's all still rough, but we've been learning Japanese with it and its pretty cool.
I want to, I have like a 2000+ day streak on Duolingo and I know I can only gain fluency once I start speaking it more.
If you're really interested, shoot me an email.

It makes total sense it’s good at regurgitating the edge cases of language.

As sister comments have pointed out, I find that it's very much dependent on the phone you're using. If it can't even show me a waveform then I don't think it's going to be able to tease out any sort of speech
I was using Google's Translate app.
