Episode notes
INSIGHT

Models Should Size Responses To Intent

  • Gemini 3 often sizes answers correctly so short queries get short answers and long ones get long answers.
  • That dynamic made the host feel it was fresher and more useful than prior models he used.
INSIGHT

Multimodal Responses Multiply Learning

  • Multimodal outputs (text+images) create richer learning products when combined, not separate.
  • Visuals plus text can make explanations faster to consume and more memorable.
ADVICE

Remove Mode Buttons — Let The Model Decide

  • Make multimodality seamless in the UI so users don't toggle modes before starting a task.
  • Let the model infer when to switch to images, video, or deeper thinking instead of pre-select buttons.
