The company maintains high scientific standards with a creative team that combines a strong research focus with a dynamic business mindset.

Tealgreen🙏 340 karmaMar 29, 2025@GeminiThey nailed it. It’s better than 3.7 at coding. -
The most humanly AI i have used so far but the problem is as soon as you start piling up messages in single chat session , it starts getting slow and at some point it starts freezing and also uses a lot of resources. For time being its okay to do 3 4 messages but as soon as we continue it has messages limitation and also starts getting very very slow . For the price of £18 per month this is unacceptable and with the newly introduced feature called project, if we start new chat within the project we cannot continue with the context we provided in other chats within same project. There are lot of improvements for them to work on. And to start with the its speed and its price

A huge disappointment. It fails standard tasks that Sonnet 3.5 completes with no issue. I’ll be skipping this version.
