Gemini Flash 3.8 Goes Off the Rails: Prescription Scan Triggers Random Math
MaziyarPanahi · x · 2026-09-20
Users report Gemini Flash 3.8 behaving erratically: a standard "sync all my repos" prompt sent the model completely off the rails, with the author joking it "needs therapy" despite nothing unusual on his machine.
Another user shared a similar failure: uploading a prescription scan for text extraction — a test he runs on every model — caused it to start doing math instead, reminding him of Llama-2 13B.
