Episode notes
Gemini 3 Is A Targeted Step Forward
- Gemini 3 restores and advances many strengths of Gemini 2.5 Pro while pushing design and code capabilities to the frontier.
- The model's January 2025 cutoff and tuning suggest focused methodology improvements rather than just scale increases.
Abandoning Then Returning To Gemini
- Michael Yo stopped using Gemini 2.5 because it became unreliable, then found Gemini 3 restored usability for daily work.
- He still uses other models like GPT 5.1 and Sonnet 4.5 when Gemini faltered previously.
Tuned For Vibe Code And UI
- Gemini 3 excels at visually appealing 'vibe code' outputs and UI-focused design tasks far beyond competitors.
- That tuning appears to deprioritize raw creativity and increases sterility in some creative writing tasks.
