Most people that I have spoken to that are at Google have complained about the internal Gemini agent and seem to believe it's gotten significantly worse lately. Things like it completely forgetting how to call the tools and eventually giving up having wasted a bunch of time, or the agent completely ignoring code style guidance in an AGENTS.md-esque file.

My experience running Gemma 4 locally has been similar: after maybe one or two tool calls it starts making tool calls however it feels like. Just yesterday, I watched it redefine a tool like read_file(start, end) into read_file(start, number_of_bytes) and it refused to even consider that it was wrong.
