User Complains About Gemini 3.5 Flash: Poor Coding and Random Caps
ShaneBowen · reddit · 2026-07-20
A developer posted on Reddit criticizing Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash model for its poor performance. The user stated that during local development via a CLI tool, they found the model's coding abilities lacking. Furthermore, it exhibited a bizarre behavior: frequently and inexplicably using all-caps letters in its output.
The poster expressed deep disappointment, noting that if they hadn't received a free subscription with their Pixel phone purchase, they would have switched to a competitor's service long ago.
