> can roll back changes and investigate them

Sure, you can do that, but irreparable harm might have been already caused. Sure, that’s unlikely when your product is an LLM wrapper. But in something like a database, it could be catastrophic.

That’s not how rates work

What do you mean? My Withings app can access that data without issues

I’m surprised it had time to “wreck multiple codebases” in the few days it’s been out

MacOS, even nowadays, has a level of polish and care put into it that nothing you do with opus is going to get close to.

Opus is 2x the price. If it’s more intelligent or not is hard to tell, this model has been out for a day.

> It is mind boggling how difficult it is. I should be able to go to some well known URL, e.g. gemini.com

What’s so complicated about going to gemini.google.com ?

> Why isn't it called Gemini Desktop

There is a Gemini desktop app. Antigravity is for agentic stuff, similar to Codex.

Sounds like you were using the older Gemini 3.1 Pro from February, and not the new release this post is about

I’m sorry, are you seriously referring to mathematicians as elites?

> People who weren't in the club and genuinely enjoy math are having the time of their life proving results

If they couldn’t do so before and they can now, it sounds like they don’t understand what their LLMs are producing anyways. That doesn’t sound very fun to me. If they genuinely enjoyed math, maybe they would want to understand it instead of prompting an LLM to do stuff for them?

He’s just wrong, 3.6-flash-lite does not even exist. He definitely has access to regular 3.6 flash.

Aren’t Muse and Dots literally the same as Gemini Spark, which came out months ago?

90% * 60% = 54%, which is still way better than the most efficient internal combustion engines. So even in that case an EV is still better. Plus, it gets greener when the grid gets greener.

Very impressive for a combustion engine, but still way worse than the ~90% efficiency of a battery electric car

Based on what you’re describing as “your zone”, I would assume you have never experienced the flow state others are talking about. Flow state comes with long stretches of deep, focused work, without context switches or interruptions. This is fundamentally incompatible with what you’re claiming to be “your zone”.
