I really hope Google reads these HN posts. They've had some big "product" wins but the pricing, packaging, and user system is a severe blocker to growth. If developers can't or won't figure it out -- how the heck are consumers?
And both their consumer apps are slow. You can replicate this yourself. Go to AI Studio, paste in 80K tokens of text, then type something on your keyboard, and see what happens. The Gemini web app is even worse somehow. A horrifically slow and buggy app. Not new problems either, barely any improvement on this over more than 1 year.
No issues here that I remember with the Gemini app on Android recently - half a year ago it was a slideshow with just a few conversations.
They're improving, probably.
What context size? I ran into issues especially with 80k or more
