Does anyone actually use Gemini 3 now? I cant stand its sleek salesy way of introduction, and it doesnt hold to instructions hard – makes it unapplicable for MECE breakdowns or for writing.
 help



It indeed departs from instructions pretty regularly. But I find it very useful and for the price it beats the world.

"The price" is the marginal price I am paying on top of my existing Google 1, YouTube Premium, and Google Fi subs, so basically nothing on the margin.


I use it often. Occasionally for quick questions, but mostly for deep research.

I do. It's excellent when paired with an MCP like context7.

I dont agree, Gemini 3 is pretty good, even the Lite version.

What do you use it for and why? Genuinely curious

I use Gemini Pro for basically everything. I just started learning systems biology as I didn't even know this was a subject until it came up in a conversation.

Biology is subject I am quite lacking in but it is unbelievable to me what I have learned in the last few weeks. Not even in what Gemini says exactly but in the text and papers it has led me to.

One major reason is that it has never cut me off until last night. I ran several deep researches yesterday and then finally got cut off in a sprawling 2 hour conversation.

For me it is the first model now that has something new coming out but I haven't extracted all the value from the old model that I am bored with it. I still haven't tried Opus 4.5 let alone 4.6 because I know I will get cut off right when things get rolling.

I don't think I have even logged into ChatGPT in a month now.
