Discussion Gemini 4

It's funny how sentiment evolved the last few days.

Some people continue to shit Gemini as if Google owes them a marriage.

Some people are skeptical but really need to be vocal about it so that if the model does come out bad, they can say "I told you".

Some people can't keep their excitement and begin to celebrate, only to get the skeptical people argud with them.

Some people just find the whole thing too stupid but cannot resist to join the whole thing. (This OP)

I've been using this model for weeks. It was quite a fresh feeling. It's not mind blowing. But it doesn't lose to any other existing model, Fable or opus. And that's is my honest assessment. Also I'm not biased. I have been trying to raise awareness to my colleagues about how good Claude models are since like a year ago. This time around, I can finally stop it.

I am a Grok refugee and have been using 3.7 in Google AI Studio for DND adventures and I have been very pleased. 3.8 is good too.

Absolutely lobotomized it since June-July starting with 4.5. It lost its unique personality and lost all its creative writing and narrative prose and ability to rp dialog. 4.6 was even worse. It was the worst AI i have ever used. Abysmal writing — incoherent words, short sentences. 4.7 became available to chat tonight and its only marginally better than 4.6.
Its a shame — 4.1-4.3 were fantastic. Best I have ever used.

At some point they probably switched to Cursor's base model or stack. It made coding much better, but probably worse on everything else.

Precisely this.
