I really wonder what I’m missing with Gemini. It’s a second rate model for me at best. I find it okay (not great) at collecting information and completely useless at agentic tasks. It’s like it’s always drunk. When the Claude credits expire in Antigravity, I’m done for the day.

I LOLed at this because I of the constant death loops that don’t even solve the problem at all.
Yah it doesn't even make sense how they got through their benchmarks without death loops. Gemini-cli even has a hotfix to break the model of such death-loops. But if you were to ignore this bug/quirk that will be fixed in the next patch release my point still stands.
i get much better results with it using a different toolset. give it serena and it mostly works, and is less likely to hit a death loop.
i feel like the geminicli app is missing some tools for making sure the session history is actually valid
