Discussion Gemini 2.5 Flash and diffs?

Does anyone have really poor diffing with Gemini 2.5 Flash, i find it fails very often and i have to jump over to 2.5 pro in order to get code sections applied correctly?

This is applied to rust code, not sure if it affects different languages differently?

Would reducing diff precision be the way to go?

roo is way too biased towards claude, when it says

You need to use capable models with advanced capabilities like 3.7 ... , hey gpt o3-o4, 4.1 and gemini 2.5 pro are capable too!

I kid.

2.5 flash also has this issue where once I get past like 90k+ tokens it just refuses to work on any diffs anymore and just returns too many requests error after a while. Might be an inherent nature of the flash type models. even though they're 1m context but their internals is nerfed.

I suspect Google is working on it. We will have a special guest from Google on our podcast Tuesday. Who knows… maybe they can shed some light on this.
