Maybe Google will finally launch a working coding agent
3 comments

Antigravity seemed to work well at first, but the same model on the same software now seems to fail to edit most files most of the time, and then get itself tied in knots trying to resolve the error by editing files with awk, sed, grep, etc!
Yup. “Wait, let me circle back and fix this another way.”

What they can never fix is that plenty of Pro users complain that they never get quota, models are always maxed out. I left, and I can’t believe how much time I wasted in AGY steering Gemini or reminding it that no, you can’t install random new dependencies or disable tests.

I cant see how they could. The Gemini cli repo was a shit show the last time I looked a month ago and the service itself wouldnt even let me use version > 2.5 even though I was a paying customer.
I think they just need to unleash more agents on it to get the ball rolling. any day now...
Gemini CLI works.

It's not the favorite, but it's definitely "working."

It's constantly overloaded and shits the bed. Gemini is so awful, it feels like a GPT-3.5 era model that fails to make basic tool calls.
Maybe I'm on a different plan or something.

Or happen avoid all the downtime.

Claude has one 9 of uptime, downtime for me multiple times per week. [1] When it works, it's great. It just doesn't work that often recently.

UPDATE: Claude down again.
I'm on Google AI Pro
What are you expecting for $20/month?
A model that I can use? I'm on a trial plan but this doesn't convince me to pay for it for real. The 20$ plan for Codex and Claude just works and I get stuff done.
Not my experience at all
