Gemini 3 Flash is very good at the search task (it benchmarks quite close to 3 Pro in coding tasks but is much faster). I believe Amp switch to Gemini Flash for their search agent because it is better.
- theshrike79 10mo agoGemini the model is good, Gemini the framework around the model is a steaming pile of crap.
- woggy 10mo agoYup. Gemini CLI needs a lot of work.
- esperent 10mo agoI actually defended Gemini CLI when someone said this a few days ago. Then Murphy's law hit me with bug after bug, all of which have been reported many times already going back over year or more. I keep having to totally clear out the ~/.gemini folder and then it works again for a while.
- theshrike79 10mo agoI'm pretty sure Anthropic is the only company that actually dogfoods their CLI tool. Gemini seems like an afterthought an intern did, Codex has cool features but none of them align with real-world need.
- esperent 10mo agoI very much doubt this. I've been using gemini whenever I get hit by codex limits over the past week. 3 pro is very good - a bit behind codex but still very useful. I've tried 3 flash several times and each time what I got back was complete garbage. After the third or fourth attempt I stopped trying.
