So far Gemini is kind of dumb like ChatGPT, Claude continues to be the smartest (but requires wrangling)

The benefit of Gemini is the deep research but it isn't able to replicate that with text files in the regular version (hopefully added soon)

With Gemini so far it's less wrangling and more educating a toddler who's going to be gifted student one day. You can tell they're trying to make it ai consumer slop in its output but there's a spark of brilliance there.

I need to specify tone, figure out how to get it to focus on what I want not what it thinks I want, and baby it more than anticipated 

Very much would like a "dev mode" showing my current token context count, when it's getting too large (or I have too many files) and other levers to quickly pull to shape the output how I want

Currently I rate it a B+ with potential. It will move up if I can understand how to educate it.
