Gemini 3.0 spotted in the wild through A/B testing

Well I am not sure Gemini or any other LLMs respect `.gitignore` which can immediately make the context window jump over the maximum.

Tools like repomix[0] do this better, plus you can add your own extra exclusions on top. It also estimates token usage as a part of its output but I found it too optimistic i.e. it regularly says "40_000 tokens" but when uploading the resulting single XML file to Gemini it's actually f.ex. 55k - 65k tokens.

I agree. I use repomix with AI Studio extensively and never found anything (including the cli agents) that's close.

I sometimes upload codebases that are around 600k tokens and even those work.

Repomix also lets you create a config file so you can give it ignore/include patterns in addition to .gitignore.

It also tells you about the outlier files with exceptionally long content.
