Gemini isn't perfect but I find it a lot less annoying than other model families (personal preference or stockholm syndrome). Interested to read the reviews.

Is it actually available?

Seconded. Anthropic feel the need to limit how abusive you can be to Claude because god, I want to throttle that snotty little shit. Google don't have to do that with Gemini because it just isn't as irritating. It does what I ask and doesn't try to second-guess my requests, or do "the quick fix".

I'm the opposite, I found Gemini so annoying that I had to stop using it, Claude was a breath of fresh air afterwards.

Maybe it's all about how often we encounter the quirks of specific model? Or simply that one's way to prompt triggers more annoyances with a model than another?

I'd be curious to see if people have managed to just add custom instructions to make the outputs more standardized and less annoying. I never have such annoying cases, whatever the model, it's just too verbose, but in this case I ask it to be more concise and it's usually fine.

I wouldn't even call it a quirk or a chance encounter, every response it gives is sycophantic and overwritten.

To be fair they dramatically improved how annoying Claude is with Opus 5.5. It's not perfect but it's not nearly as awful as it was.

Opposite for me. Output of 5.5 is better but its safety and moral standing skyrocketed. I am constantly hitting refusals for simple tasks, which previous generations (like 4.8) do without giving me a tirade.

Anthropic’s vision of “safe” is so frustrating to deal with, it makes me want to go back to ChatGPT.

I like the way it speaks and its "personality" too.

It's been really bad at lyrics but gotten better. You look something up and it will just make something up and it takes a bit of digging to discover it's because of copyright

"Gotten better"? Didn't it just get released a few hours ago?

I mean, I was talking about the 3 series

Why would you comment about a completely different model?

Branding is a powerful force.

The parent commenter was also talking about the Gemini series in general, come on.
