We'll see when it's released then! There's a chance it's going to be a very good model, but often DeepMind tend to "pre release" models that seem great, and then by the time you get to the release they've gotten worse for some reason.

They also tend to struggle with tool calls, more than the latest GPT or Opus. And around December 2025/January 2026 I remember the Gemini CLI being unusable because they were always at capacity.

But also I've seen product features built on Gemini models and they do pretty well here, especially around translation it seems.
