Gemini has gotten wildly worse in recent time, almost incapable of answering a question without a search, lengthy "thinking time" for trivial questions that no doubt is intended to mask waiting for inference resources

Yesterday I read that they sold a lot of TPUs to Anthropic as well as renting them out. This is odd, because I've constantly had issues with Google LLMs not having enough resources. Except for AI suggestions in Search, these work reliably.

		Google did not sell those TPUs because they had excess capacity. Google sold them because it can make lots more money that way then using them for Gemini inference (the shift to sales is also indicative of some power dynamics within the company).

Same, quite often it will literally forget the thing from last message it sent me. I'd ask about car shops around me, it shows me a bunch of spots from Google Maps, cool. Then I ask 'what are their reviews' and I get hit with 'Reviews of what?'. It's still better in Android Auto than Siri is in Car Play, by a mile but random experiences in the app are very meh.

How are you accessing it? You may be using one of the limited models.

I use Gemini Antigravity daily for software design and coding, mostly using the Gemini 3.5 Flash model. It’s very competent, and quite a bit cheaper than Claude.
