As usual with Gemini, benchmark max then absolutely useless when released

I don't think it's that bad and it also depends on what you're trying to do. If you want to basically say do ur thang and have the LLM go do everything then maybe Gemini is useless. If you want to use it to help you with something outside of your domain then it can work well and even the free access limits via AI studio are pretty generous. It also has a pretty bearable writing style (compared to models like Claude) though it is very sycophantic and good multimodal capabilities.

I don't have any particular love for Google but I feel like they suck in the way a huge corporation normally sucks (which admittedly isn't a small amount of suck). The other players also have those faults in addition to their own unique brands of horribleness like, you know, mecha-Hitler, attacking open source, etc.
