I've found good success with the new Gemini models on Antigravity. Granted I use my models either:

- like a fancy auto complete (here are some stub methods, they should do X, fill them in)

- using fairly detailed plans and test harnesses, so blowing up the world is hard

The 3.X Flash family have been fairly capable models, and the selling point for me is just raw speed. Gemini is noticeably faster than the competition, about 3-4x, and I just get work done faster with it.

That said I'm keeping an eye on Open Weights. DS4 Flash was good until price hikes, and finding a provider that serves at high speed and without quantisation at the prior price is tricky.

Same. I have a promo plan that's currently $3/month, which gets you a model that's almost opus, very fast speeds, and very generous limits.

There's no Gemini pro model currently, so you gotta pair that with a 20 openai plan for access to more advanced stuff if you need it.
