I had an interesting conversation with Gemini about the tech industry this morning and it was worth a share.

Convo link below:

https://share.gemini.google/U8OwFMbc0eI7

I'm a heavy to ultra heavy user. From waking up to before bed, i use it all day for everything. My day start with asking gemini "good morning", then I will ask it how it is doing, what are the next updates , how to overcome this or that etc .

After getting gemini pro for free, i ain't letting it sit idle. I'm searching every way possible to hit the daily quota to the maximum limit. I must research topics in detail I'm curious about, I most paste the response and save it in a note taking app just incase the subscription ends for me and I can't afford in future.

Gemini has make me forget any other app exists. Watching a video feels like a waste of time when I can get immediate answer from gemini. I do not talk to people, I talk with gemini. I have personalised it in a way it must reply as an understanding honest buddy matching my tone.

From a week I have used it so much that i can't sleep peacefully. Every conversation with it reply in my head. I wake up with a leftover question from my dream to solve it the moment after I wake up on gemini.

Any hardcore user with similar experience ?

No, Google, I don't want my AI making inhaling breath sounds occasionally while it's talking. It's deeply disturbing.

I specifically have a code review skill that invokes all of them to review a PR then runs a 4 way debate on the validity of all the findings.

Gemini is invoked through the agy CLI, and all are at max thinking.

Gemini has a significantly lower rate of material findings and a much higher rate of outright hallucinations, frequently referencing code and practices that don't actually exist in the repo.

It feels like using AI 18 months ago, back around the Gemini 2.5 pro days.

I resubbed to Gemini ultra @ 200 when Argon was announced, hopeful, but have since dropped it again. Bummer.

Just 4 prompts with argon (1 light and 3 heavy) drained my 70% of 5 hours PRO LIMIT.

And the Flash3.8 is so dumb now, on light and medium.

I have been using Gemini extensively for my studies. I have found it to be the best suit for my needs. Used to use Chatgpt(premium), Claude(free version as had many accounts) but I found they tend to give wrong answers to my math and other questions. Am currently studying in University and the math questions they ask are super complicated and somehow Gemini gets them right. Like even the Google search one as well. Sometimes I just use that Google search option for a problem and it gives me the correct answer.(it's not that the question is already asked and famous, even if it were chatgpt and other models should have solved it). Now recently I started using Google Ai Studio , even though I have paid subscription I still often find myself using the fre 3.1 Pro model there and the search option. I have made like 8-10 google accounts on my device. So I literally never get shut out from using the models as I just transfer my chat to another one.

What I am trying to say is, Gemini is absolutely crushing the hard math problems without mistakes(I can't remember the last time it doing any mistake, granted I give it resource files that would be helpful to it but I give them to all models). But then when I come online everyone is absolutely shitting on Gemini. What is the reason for it? Is it just some sort of marketing campaign or what.

Has anyone else received this?

Just imo, but I'm working with some people and see others online constantly complaining about token usage and how they feel scammed by Google.

I'm not here to do an analysis or whatever but I stay on Argon - Medium and I'm doing what I'd consider are fairly large projects and I've never hit my cap. I don't think thinking 'high' is really what most people need when coding their if/else statements.

When I do swap to Argon - high its for my initial planning or document overviews when I finish a large chunk of code and I want to analyze something pretty forward looking or trying to break my program through mutation testing. When actually implementing my things I'm usually on low or medium and I keep my context tight and well formed. I say this because I personally have never hit a limit for usage but I see everyone complaining all day.

If you are using Argon - high and asking it to review your entire repo multiple times over and your detailed prompt of 'fix my project' accidentally takes in too much data then maybe perhaps try looking at being being a bit more delicate with how you're using it. Those prompts of such a massive window and scope should be a bit more rare than I feel like people are using them.

If you put your car into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE to drive to starbucks then get upset about your gas tank, be a bit more realistic about your task at hand.

Perhaps google should make an auto mode to keep people from using high thinking to ask about a potato salad recipe.

Hello Reddit.

I'm mostly a user of Qwen3.8 that I find really worth it for most task, alongside Deepseek 4.1 flash for very simple tasks.

But I'd like an AI model for cutting edge cases. Of course there's the classic Claude and ChatGPT but I grew tired of them and overall distruss them (I don't want to have my token capacities halfed for no reason).
I tried Kimi K3(an 3.1) with the AI Pro equivalent subscription and the usage is a joke : 4 hours of text and browser manipulation and it's over.

Is Gemini 4 Argon with AI Pro subscription any better when it come to cost per token ? I want to use it to calculate physics with Godot, handle reverse engineering of DLL and Binary, and write Kernel-lever drivers, and other Cybersecurity tasks

I've been trying to access the Gemini Student Plan for a while, is it like seasonal offer thing?

Any entry/mid level devs successfully using Argus as a planner? What's your workflow like?

I use Argon medium for just answer pure text in one prompt it consume 22% usage, how hilarious is it.

Bro, what even is this response from Gemini? 💀🤣

I asked it to explain the differences between Last.fm and ListenBrainz, including what features are locked behind a subscription, what open-source/non-profit/ad-free actually means, and which is better if I use Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

And Gemini's response to my entire question was:

"To use Spotify, please install the Spotify app on your device." 😭😭

BRO, I WAS ASKING ABOUT MUSIC TRACKING SERVICES, NOT HOW TO USE SPOTIFY. 💀

Is anyone else getting these random, completely unrelated responses from Gemini lately, or is it just me? 😂

I have S25 Ultra phone

When holding power button and asking something Gemini stopped answering with voice and now if I need to hear what it answered I need to push speaker button in menu.

If I open Gemini on fullscreen there's also no mic button anymore only live chat

Is there a fix for that? I've tried stopping app and rebooting phone but it don't change it.

I did not find any dedicated settings for enabling voice

I can see the argument for both. Antigravity is clearly better when code is involved. But in Gemini Task the workflow of generating images for design idea (via nanobanana), then iterate on those before moving to 3d design just feels mores seamless.

I am relatively new to 3D printing overall, but have been using Antigravity for my coding tasks for a long time now, so I have a natural bias toward Antigravity. Curious to understand what is the better tool for the job here. Thanks!

I think Google should consider replacing Gemini 3.1 Pro with a Gemini 3.5 Pro(if it is real).

The current model lineup could be structured like this:

Gemini 3.5 Lite— fast, lightweight tasks

Gemini 3.8 Flash— everyday use with stronger reasoning

Gemini 3.5 Pro — advanced reasoning for complex tasks without jumping straight to the most expensive model

Argon — maximum reasoning capability for the hardest problems

My main concern is usage efficiency. If Argon consumes around 28% of the available usage per prompt, using it for every difficult question simply isn't sustainable.

There should be a model between Flash and Argon that offers stronger reasoning than Flash while being significantly more economical to use than Argon.

That's where a hypothetical Gemini 3.5 Pro would fit.

Instead of this:

3.5 Lite → 3.8 Flash → 3.1 Pro → Argon

I'd prefer this:

3.5 Lite → 3.8 Flash → 3.5 Pro → Argon

The idea isn't that 3.5 Pro should outperform Argon. It should provide a sensible middle ground: enough reasoning capability for coding, complex analysis, and multi-step tasks, without consuming such a large portion of the usage allowance.

I apologise to copywriters, but I use Gemini to help me write BlueSky posts for my business.

The word "flattains" was prompted. I looked in the dictionary (Google), to ask what it means AND it was a typo. 🤯

How is this possible? Has anyone else had a similar experience with Gemini or a generative AI chatbot?

Happens to me for a long time, even when asking about some discount lol

my workflow the last couple weeks: gemini 3 pro writes the research doc and the argument, then i hand that outline to gamma 5 and let its agent build the actual deck. the handoff is cleaner than old gamma because gamma 5 asks who the audience is and what the one argument is before it generates anything, so it is not just dumping cards.

picked the ash theme and it came out sharp. the one real annoyance, gamma 5 restructured my gemini outline more than i wanted, it merged two sections and reordered a third on its own, and i had to drag them back by hand.

anyone else keeping the draft in gemini and the design in a separate tool like this?

is anyone else's Ai mode in the Google app suddenly acting weird.? this footage is from my iphone 11 and earlier it was acting normal i was able to edit messages and everything but not long ago it started doing this, i know it's a bug but still. it's acting normal on my iphone 17 though.

what else should i do.?
