Google has fallen off

A bit of a rant

  1. The new Antigravity UI is a joke. They did not just shamelessly copy the Codex App, but they also weren’t even good at it. It’s basically like a vibe-coded copycat that lacks many important features and is noticeable less polished and refined
  2. Flash 3.5 is neither cost efficient nor is it SOTA. The word “Flash” has lost all its meaning, The prices makes it unusable for the kind of tasks and workflow you would usually do with a Flash model. The sentiment on X seems to be mostly negative about its coding performance, with many seeing it as below what the benchmarks would suggest. I tested it a bit and it still has many weaknesses typical for a Gemini model (like overusing commands that it doesn’t need) and even though my test was short, I could not even finish it because of “Unknown: Agent execution terminated due to error.”
  3. Omni (their new video model) is incremental. I was not impressed with the few videos it generated before my rate limits (Pro account) were exhausted. I never tried Seedance 2 but the sentiment is that it did not catch up to it
  4. And since I mentioned rate limits, they also dramatically cut Gemini rate limits across the board. It’s now “token based” and much closer to what you would get from Claude than what you get from ChatGPT but without the Claude quality. It’s honestly insane how much they cut the amount of service you get with a Pro account since the peak in November-December 2025. People who made a yearly sub were straight up rugpulled.
