People who say Gemini is bad at long contexts are so wrong.

You can put whole 50,000 - 70,000 LOC codebase into Gemini 3.1 Pro context making it 800,000+ tokens, give it detailed task and ask for whole changed files back and it will execute it sometimes in one shot, sometimes in two. E.g depend on whatever stack you work with let you see all the errors at once so it can fix everything on single reply.

Yes it will give you back 5-15 files up to 4000 LOC total with only relevant parts changed.

This is terrible inefficient way to burn $10 of tokens in 20 minutes, but attention and 1:1 context retention is truly amazing.

PS: At the same time it is bad at tool use, but this have nothing to do with context.
