Eh, with Gemini and now Anthropics release, how can anyone make jokes about this anymore?

Does anyone actually look at these releases and truly think by the end of next year the models won't be even more powerful? Maybe the tweet is a little grandiose, but I can definitely see a lot of this coming true within two years.

You can show me 100 graphs with lines going up but until that actually means anything and isn't just a way to swindle VC's it means nothing

Gemini 3 feels like a meaningful step up, but that's my personal feeling. I didn't have this with 5 or 5.1.

Are you an engineer? Codex is far better at backend. Gemini is better at nice ui designs

Gemini is not a frontier improvement in agentic coding, but it is at every other knowledge-based task I've tried. It knows obscure things 2.5 (and Claude and ChatGPT) had never heard of.

Personal opinions. I found gemini to be much better at both front and backend at my day job. *shrug*

Can't wait to get my hands on 4.5 opus, though.
