I care very little about model personality outside of sycophancy. The thing about gemini is that it's notorious for its low self esteem. Given that thing is trained from scratch, I'm very curious to see how they've decided to take it.
Sonnet-4.5 has the lowest self esteem of any model I've used. Gemini frequently argues with me.
given how often these llms are wrong, doesnt it make sense that they are less confident?
Indeed. But I've had experiences with gemini-2.5-pro-exp where its thoughts could be described as "rejected from the prom" vibes. It's not like I abused it either, it was running into loops because it was unable to properly patch a file.
