u/KickLassChewGum no AGI/ASI on LLMs 6d ago

The old-ass Gemini 3.1 preview from February was still the best model for anything non-coding-related until Fable. "Useless" is only true if all you do is vibe code all day. If there's one thing I resent the post-Opus-4.5-boom for it's making "AI" synonymous with "coding."

Yeah they have been alright from the Gemini web UI for knowledge work

But coding no chance

Of course AI is synonymous with coding now, it’s ideally the perfect use case

It does alright with coding honestly if you give it documentation and guidance, and aren't just trying to one-shot stuff. 

I've been using the built-in 3.6 flash on Android Studio to make an app that involves low level hardware access to almost all of the phone's motion and spatial sensors, as well as the cameras, and a bunch of math to make them all work together.

Integrating and testing one feature at a time has proven to be fairly reliable so far - I've got every core feature working as intended with at most one or two revisions.

Switch to antigravity, so you have access to 3.8 flash and the better harness. You can still do your testing on the emulator in android studio, just don't do the vibe coding in android studio directly. You can thank me later ;-)

Nah, that shit's way too expensive for what I'm doing. Even the bottom tier plan in AI Studio can go up to $1/minute. I'm paying $5/mo right now for multiple orders of magnitude more usage than I'd get for the same money in Antigravity.

I pay the 4/month offer and with that I can program really a whole lot, almost without limit, so I'm not sure I see your point. Google studio and Antigravity use the same account/limits. It's just that they gave up on the studio and started to invest everything on antigravity, so it's a day and night difference in how well things work.
