I have noticed Gemini not accepting an instruction to "leave all other code the same but just modify this part" on a code that included use of an alpha API with a different interface than what Gemini knows is the correct current API. No matter how I promoted 2.5 pro, I couldn't get it to respect my use of the alpha API, it would just think I must be wrong.

So I think patterns from the training data are still overriding some actual logic/intelligence in the model. Or the Google assistant fine-tuning is messing it up.

I have been using gemini daily for coding for the last week, and I swear that they are pulling levers and A/B testing in the background. Which is a very google thing to do. They did the same thing with assistant, which I was a pretty heavy user of back in the day (I was driving a lot).
