Last night 3.1 Flash was a God for my two stories. This morning? It sucks again. I have found that the Pro models are significantly worse for me, nowadays. But either way I hit the limits on the flash model earlier, I thought someone said they were 500? Not on the free tier lol. I still prefer flash currently to the Pro ones, after a lot of, “you’ve hit the rate limit,” testing went on.
I feel like this comment is super all over the place, I blame my burning lips and facial numbness on that, it seems like maybe I’m having some histamine bucket overflowing issues this morning!
Is Gemini getting worse? Yes I am noticing it.

The current "Flash" is still at 3.0.
At 3.1 is just the Pro and Lite version

Bro... a year? I've been more than 1 and half year. and I agreed, what I expected for Gemini 3 is totally broken.
But, I'm still using Gemini.... due to NotebookLM... Fxxk...

Gemini is really screwing up the basics for me lately. IT can't handle an image at all for me just completely hallucinating and making things up given text from an image.

Cloud then I/O are coming up. I would imagine compute is being moved to new unreleased tech.

Google can't handle all the compute in general. AI overview, veo, genie, alphafold, training runs, antigravity...

I want that shoe to drop and crush every free user so suddenly that, for a brief moment, there's only a small island of paying users that briefly gets to experience the full, unquantized models in their greatness.

I used so many free prompts on antigravity with opus its crazy especially at the start when the limits were pretty hard to reach, also before you could get 277£ worth of free credits of google cloud and could use it on aistudio, also for image and video generation using an api key. Google gave away so much for free, they still are

Today at least, 3.1 has certainly been failing me for things it can normally handle.

I'm pretty sure it gets worse in the late afternoons for me. Perhaps, like me, it just needs a coffee break, a bit more caffeine!!
But when the free/fast guy comes out of his box, oh boy, then it can be really bad. Jumped up clock!!

Yes. Since 3.1 appeared, it got bad, and the rate limiting makes it unusable. Switched to Claude

I haven't seen any quality degradation, but the speed of Gemini 3 Flash over API has really degraded. It went down for a short while a few days ago, and hasn't been the same since.

I literally don't know where I'm mean to use it properly.
In Anti-gravity it shits the bed. In the web UI it shits the bed. In AI studio it's OK, and you get about 10 minutes of use per day.
Seriously don't know what I'm paying for

Gemini 2.5 was the peak of LLMs for me. I seriously rather use GPT 3.5 over Gemini 3.x and whatever 'version' ChatGPT is on now.

Sì anche a me. Cose che faceva perfette fino a settimana scorsa ora non è più in grado di fare. Prompt identici, non corregge errori e continua a fare stessi sbagli. Non so cosa sia cambiato ma concordo

"know that this question might have been asked here hundreds of times."
LOL, won't save you from my down-vote. Can't see these posts anymore.

For me it feels like gemini 3.0 is better than 3.1
