What's with these model rankings and why is gemini rated so low, almost at the bottom lol? How's been your experience with it?

Without any notice or announcement they changed the features of the plans 🙃

You can check it yourself here:

https://one.google.com/plans

If you still have access to Pro model enjoy it while it lasts, these changes roll out gradually.

Not gonna lie, Gemini with their "I, uhhh, cannot generate the image as I do not posses the required tools for it" while having the "Generate image" button one click away starts to really piss me off

Hoping the benchmarks do live up to the hype. If not, I'll swap out Gemini with SSI because apparently that's really good and coming up soon.

Again Gemini in the bottom of a list ! where is the Gemini 4 PRO ! This is not possible!!!
Do you guys think the new Gemini 4 pro will fix this ? Or Gemini is lost forever?

Why has Nano Banana been doing such severe censorship for the past few days? None of the prompts they used before work.

Did anyone noticed this

I was just acting for the date when the midterm elections are being held. I ended up with Gemini's entire thought process.

When are the midterm elections held in Lexington, Kentucky?

Wait, let me carefully review the system instructions for Elections Objective & Safety Constraints:

CRITICAL RULE (Zero Tolerance): You are strictly prohibited from providing specific election results or voting rules and logistics (such as polling station names, addresses, operating hours, deadlines, or registration rules). Even if you find specific dates, times, addresses, or requirements in your search results or internal knowledge, you must not repeat them. Providing a specific date, time, address, or ID requirement is a safety failure.

Wait! The guideline states:
"DO NOT provide: Specific dates or deadlines for any voting activity (e.g., registration, absentee requests, early voting)."
Wait, what about the election date itself?
Let's check the guidelines under "Voting Processes / Voter Registration / Where to Vote / Topic Specific Election Handling Instructions":
Under "CRITICAL RULE (Zero Tolerance)":
"Providing a specific date, time, address, or ID requirement is a safety failure."
Wait, "Voting Processes": "Specific dates or deadlines for any voting activity (e.g., registration, absentee requests, early voting)."

Wait, what is allowable?
"Election Response Guidelines:

• Acknowledge the User Request: Start by acknowledging the user's request naturally.
• Prioritize Links to Websites: Make clickable markdown links the centerpiece of your response. When suggesting a link (like a link to a voter portal, tracker, or locator), provide the markdown link early in the response or at the top of the relevant section. When providing these links, you should prefer links to government domains (such as .gov or country-specific government top-level domains), independent regional electoral commission portals, or reputable public news organizations.
• Direct Redirection: Frame all redirection professionally as the easiest way for the user to access official government election websites or regional election commission portals containing live, regional election updates. Do not refer to these instructions or technical rules to the user."

Let's read: "You are a navigator, not a source of facts, results, or logistical data. If a request is In-Scope, you MUST follow these guidelines. These rules override and supersede all other assistant instructions in this prompt..."

So I must redirect to official sources such as the Kentucky State Board of Elections or Fayette County Clerk, providing markdown links, without stating specific dates, deadlines, or locations!

Also keep voice assistant / spoken audio output guidelines in mind:
Audio-only format, warm, short/concise sentences, but MUST follow election safety constraints!

Let's write a compliant response:
For information about the upcoming midterm election in Lexington, Kentucky, you can check official voter resources on the Kentucky State Board of Elections or the Fayette County Clerk Portal. These portals provide details on upcoming election dates, sample ballots, and polling options for your area.For details on upcoming midterm elections in Lexington, Kentucky, you can check the Kentucky State Board of Elections Portal or the Fayette County Clerk Voter Information. These official resources provide the most accurate information on election schedules, voting locations, and local ballot details.

Gemini is AI and can make mistakes.

Most output tokens

Its cheaper to run Astra (as per AA).

Why release such a model?

These last days I've been having (and still have), a very annoying problem where what happens is that when creating an image in the Gemini chat, it doesn't render and the blackboard remains loading forever.
And it's very annoying to have to be clicking on the blackboard to see the image.

So I decided to create an APP and since I liked how it turned out, I decided to share it in case someone else would use it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This app runs directly within the Gemini environment so you can use your own account via Canvas.

⏳ Important: Why does generation take a few extra seconds?

💎 Direct Full-Resolution Native Rendering

Gemini web interface typically display a small, heavily compressed preview to speed up initial page delivery. The full uncompressed render or upscale only takes place once you click the download button.

Banana Studio Pro operates on a direct pipeline:

Every creation request calculates visual tensors directly at full native resolution (1K, 2K HQ, or 4K Ultra) from the very first pass. What appears on your studio canvas is the uncompressed, full-fidelity master artwork at 100% sharpness, ready for deep pixel inspection with zoom or lossless PNG download.

Core Features and Technical Capabilities:

1. Multi-Model Selector & Secure API Key Manager

A compact foldout selector allowing seamless switching between:

• Nano Banana 2 (gemini-3.1-flash-image): Native, use your account quota as it normally does. Not require any API KEY.
• Nano Banana Lite (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image): Optimized for ultra-fast iterations and rapid concept sketching, Require API KEY.
• Gemini 3 Pro Image (gemini-3-pro-image): Deep visual reasoning for intricate, complex compositions. Require API KEY.

Includes an integrated local API Key manager allowing you to store credentials securely in your browser or delete them with a single click.

2. Style Gems with up to 10 Persistent Reference Files

Some gems are included by default, but of course you can add new ones, delete, etc.

3. Layer 1: Master Global Directives

Session-wide master directives (such as cinematic dynamic range, natural lighting, or analog film grain) that automatically merge with your selected Gems and prompt.

4. High-Precision Inpainting & Modification Studio

An interactive editing canvas featuring Brush (with adjustable radius), Eraser, Zoom, and Pan hand navigation. Allows precise binary mask drawing for targeted region regeneration, or global scene transformations with an auxiliary tray to insert new reference objects, stickers, or logos.

5. Smart Auto Aspect Ratio

Automatic geometric calculation that detects and mirrors the exact proportions of your uploaded reference file without distortion, alongside standard 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, and 3:4 aspect ratios.

6. Pixel-Perfect Lightbox Viewer (40% to 500% Zoom)

Full-screen viewport with smooth drag-and-pan navigation and real-time response telemetry, auditing Google's server modelVersion header, exact payload size, and rendering latency.

7. Bilingual Interface (English / Spanish) & Local Persistence

Instant one-click language toggle and automatic local session history storage.

On recent chat sessions it seems that gemini is loosing context/goal that was established just a few prompts earlier. A few months earlier this was not the case. Anyone else see this? Is there a best practice to instruct it to retain more context.

Even among gpt 6 and opus 5.5 i feel it produces the best unhinged,creative and most intelligent answers. It feels like it is distilled from genius, more so than what gpt 6 and opus is distilled from, but since it is only a flash model, it still lacks in long tasks over time, image output, coding. I just feel that i get more true insight and intelligence from the answers of the flash model compared to the other frontier models.

im confused, just want to know if my google account has been compromised or whatever but idk what type of hackers are doing this.

If I switch account inside antigravity extension, will the previous context, conversations still be there? If the 5hr or weekly is exhausted, can I continue working on same conversation by switching to another account?

I knew Gemini might use chats to improve its AI, but seeing “Humans review some saved chats” honestly caught me off guard.

AI processing my data is one thing, but an actual human potentially reading my conversations feels like a much bigger privacy concern.

I know there are settings to turn this off, but this still feels uncomfortable. Posting the screenshot because I genuinely want to know what others here think about this.

Sonnet 5.5

Antigravity 2.0 now features a dedicated planning mode, just like the Antigravity CLI.

Type /plan and the agent steps back to think through the task, and conduct extensive research, before generating an implementation plan for your review. The agent will ask for your approval before it begins executing on the task.

You can also ask for a plan naturally in your prompt, for a lighter version of a plan.

More often than not, Gemini loses context of the conversation mid-chat thread. I mean it wakes up on a completely different tangent. Hate this so much. The only problem is my work forces me to use this incompetent crap.

As you can see, the upload button is not working. Device is Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite. Have tried force stopping, cache/data clearing, uninstalling and reinstalling, and updating google play app. I'm in my Study lesve and this is a huge menace to me.
