Gemini is the best model in the world. Gemini is the worst web app in the world. Somehow those two things are coexisting. The web devs in their UI team have really betrayed the hard work of their ML and hardware colleagues. I don't say this lightly - I say this after having paid attention to critical bugs, more than I can count on one hand, that persisted for over a year. They either don't care or are grossly incompetent.

Well said.

Google is best in pure AI research, both quality and volume. They have sucked at productization for years. Not not just AI but other products as well. Real mystery.

I don't understand why they can't just make it fast and go through the bug reports from a year ago and fix them. Is it that hard to build a box for users to type text into without it lagging for 5 seconds or throwing a bunch of errors?

If it doesn’t make sense, it makes sense. Nobody will get their promo by ‘fixing bugs’.

Funny, I have the exact opposite experience! I use Claude to fix Gemini’s mess.

Maybe LLMs just make messes.

I heard that, but I'm getting consistent garbage from Gemini.

For code? Use the context7 mcp.
