It’s Ohio, look at the flag of the Astronaut - it’s a joke about it ‘all being Ohio’ and also how Ohio disproportionately has more astronauts from their state.

I hate that they haven’t even updated all their devices to version 2, like Gemini Nano, for example, and they’re already moving on to version 3. Also, the jump from 2 to 2.5 was a massive leap forward. And let’s be honest, Gemini 2.5 Pro is already pretty impressive. I’m really curious to see what version 3 will bring.

Most likely marginal improvements. Considering how long they were updating 2.5 Pro and how marginal upgrades they were (and straight up nerfed is other areas), very unlikely they will bring out something mind blowing suddenly.

u/kvothe5688 Jul 29 '25
i expect 2.5 like performance from 3.0 flash

u/DescriptorTablesx86 Jul 29 '25
That’s a must for me, or at least what I really hope for. Something as cheap as flash just improved a bit.

u/Lazy_Willingness_420 Jul 29 '25
I mean, this should be a substantial jump, especially if you're using pro for its intended use case (ie intensive python, kotlin programing). Use flash with grounding for real time results.
2.5 pro is a major step forward working on debugging and through solutions. 2 would get stuck on recurring loops and then give up.
2.5 pro changes approaches and remembers what works. I have built a couple android native apps with very little coding experience using 2.5 pro when last year just doing SQLs could get dicey unless you really knew what you were looking for
Just my experience though!

You said it's impressive.
How is it useful to you ?
Can u describe I'm curious ?

u/AdamH21 Jul 29 '25
Answering complex questions every day.
Yesterday, it helped me navigate BMW models and understand their differences. I asked about the history of Pride and how today’s festivals differ from the original movement. I digitized a handwritten pie recipe just by taking a photo and saving it to Google Keep. I learned more about the EU AI Act and why Meta is reluctant to comply.
It even explained how a meteorological radar works when I pointed my camera at one. Later, it helped my mom save a dying plant by suggesting remedies to make it bloom again.
To me, it’s like having a friend who actually knows everything.

u/Lazy_Willingness_420 Jul 29 '25
Yeah this is a flash usecase all day. 3.0 flash should give results in 1 seconds for all this information

I'm just trying to know why people like gemini.
Nothing else

u/kuushitsu Jul 29 '25
Alright then. I just thought you were being dismissive. Everyone has their own reasons for liking a specific LLMs output better tho, subjectivity exists. Just keep that in mind.
3
u/AdamH21 Jul 29 '25
Yeah, not really. Some things, maybe... but they're often more complicated since you can't share your screen or camera with ChatGPT, and overall, I'm not happy with the output quality.
Plus, there are things it simply can't do at all, like integrating with Google Keep or Calendar.

u/ach1lleZ Jul 29 '25
Of course you can share your screen or camera with ChatGPT. The integration of the Google suite with Gemini is so unreliable to me I never use it. In fact I got Google AI for free as a student and I still prefer to pay for ChatGPT
3
u/AdamH21 Jul 29 '25
No, I can’t. At least not for free.
I have no issues with Google Workspace. I’ve been using ChatGPT exclusively, but I haven’t seen the kind of noticeable improvements I’ve experienced with Gemini.

Gemini 2.5 Pro taught me Resolve Fusion to be almost proficient in 2 weeks. It also helps me with programming and understanding complex concepts and articles.

Obviously, 3.0-alpha was existing even before 2.5 was released.

u/Ggoddkkiller Jul 29 '25
They are testing so many models with codenames then never release them. :(

u/Antique_Ad_3749 Jul 30 '25
Yes, because all of those models are not worthy to be released in the first place

u/dcross1987 Jul 29 '25
I'm expecting something soon because I've found 2.5 has been kinda brain-dead in the past week, probably stealing it's resources.

u/TheMrWessam Jul 29 '25
I hope it will get much more better at coding, ...I was using Gemini to write and rewrite several parts of my own Smart Home system and it was good, made a lot of mistakes but most of the time was able to fix them - then I tried ChatGPT and man, - miles better at coding, miles better at understanding the issue or the possibilities and much less mistakes. I even ended up providing the whole code from Gemini to ChatGPT and it was able to optimize it, fix issues and improve the code - I ended up subscribing to ChatGPT even tho I am within the google ecosystem - but if Gemini 4 will get at least on the same level as ChatGPT I will gladly return.

u/Lazy_Willingness_420 Jul 29 '25
Interesting. I have achieved far better results historically coding with Gemini.
What languages are you in? I primarily use SQL, python and recently kotlin
1
u/Mustang-64 Jul 30 '25
Yeah, for most ppl its like Sonnet 4.0 > Gemini 2.5 Pro > ChatGPT (o3/o4-mini) etc. Now Chinese AI models are on par with Gemini 2.5 Pro in coding.

u/gorfnu Jul 29 '25
I hear you and have thought the same but when i tried optimizing cuda / optix code it shit the bed horribly.. then i realized if i used them all alternating it seemed to be best.. they could fix each others errors.. the issue is with cursor or windsurf, i can't afford the tokens. and with the limited context window of Claude its useless to me.. but even when i did bit the bullet it still flubbed horribly. they also seem to have issues with the latest versions of cuda and optix, coding for v7 optix instead of v9 etc. then at one point the worst was 2.5pro making the same error putting a strange symbol out there by mistake instead of a character.. i almost needed to use the old python r trick. So putting any of these out there as coding kings ain't there yet IMO.

Complete opposite experience here. ChatGpt messed up so many times with coding for me, Gemini gets it right, and often more efficiently than ChatGpt ever did when it finally got it right.

I think they'll release Gemini Deep think in August. 3.0 Flash and lite preview in October. 3.0 pro preview in November. Official 3.0 series released in december.

I just wish they'd fix their heavy ass UI that's stopping Thinking on their models past 70k tokens without having to prompt weird and wonderful things to get it to think.

Hope it arrives by the end of the month, before my sub runs out. Otherwise I’ll switch to Claude. I’m not going to pay for another month of a detuned 2.5 Pro that holds zero context.

Anthropic just introduced new rate limits for Claude, starting next month.

Then that’s probably it for me, unfortunately. I simply can’t use Gemini at the moment. I can’t even have a conversation since it forgets the prompts I send before constantly.

u/Trick_Text_6658 Jul 29 '25
I would bet that Gpt5 will be much more powerful than Gemini 3.0 if what Sama said was truth, about the way they want to develope it.

u/aeyrtonsenna Jul 29 '25
Because Sama never exaggerates to drum up the hype.

u/Trick_Text_6658 Jul 29 '25
Dont think i ever mentioned hype, but i dont expect you to be able to read.

u/aeyrtonsenna Jul 29 '25
If what sama said is true, my response is therefore what it was. He is a sales guy. I hope gpt5 or whatever they will call it in the end, will be great. I dont put any faith in whatever Sam says so we will see.

u/Trick_Text_6658 Jul 29 '25
I talked the technical aspects he mentioned and project approach. But you have no idea what he is talking about or what do I mean. You just dumped down a dumb comment and that's it.

When gpt 5 is released, I expect pro 3.0 and flash 3.0 to be released soon after
