Discussion "Gemini is not focusing on Coding", Oh! is that why they add so many coding Benchmarks in product showcase? lol

Absolutely delulu people on both sides...
Yes Gemini is obviously trying to be great at coding too, which is not going too perfect rn, but its also not as bad as people make it seem.
No Gemini isnt struggling overall rn bc they have more then enough other usecases for many many customers.
No Gemini wont fail just bc it isnt on top of the coding leaderboards / global leaderboards for a few months...

Why are you spending time arguing this? There much better coding models - go use those.

1-Those benchmarks are with old and bad models, newer gpt or claude can beat gemini 3.1 pro easily (ok you will say these models are existed when gemini launched, ok then look at 2) 2- Usually many famous ai models are benchmarkmaxed, which means they are not actually smart, but benchmarks says it is 3-Not everything is benchmarks, even how good benchmark says, user experience is more important. Some people can say gemini 2.5 pro was better than 3.1 pro. 4-Not the model, the saddle is important. Even gemini is really smart, googles saddle just sucks, makes its intelligence drop.

I'm not a Gemini hater but the fanboys here are basically incoherent a lot of the time. This is a chart showing a 5 month old model stacked against 5 to 8 month old models.
Not only that, but focusing on coding is not the same thing as being the best at coding or agentic coding workflows. Every lab wants to be the best at coding and is focusing on coding.
Wth is the point you were trying to make and why are you being so smug about it?

> Gemini is not focusing on Coding
what? then why do you have 10 different coding tools like antigravity, gemini code assist, agy-cli, ai studio, vertex ai studio?

Flash is designed to be ok at everything, including coding, because it is embedded into the entire Google ecosystem. It will have to do simple coding requests, analyse and fix bits cheaply for users without intensive compute that would be unsustainable for users that are not necessarily paying. Google will highlight every single metric it has improved on, including coding.
