My frustration with using these models for programming in the past has largely been around their tendency to hallucinate APIs that simply don't exist. The Gemini 2.5 models, both pro and flash, seem significantly less susceptible to this than any other model I've tried.

There are still significant limitations, no amount of prompting will get current models to approach abstraction and architecture the way a person does. But I'm finding that these Gemini models are finally able to replace searches and stackoverflow for a lot of my day-to-day programming.

I have been asking if AI without hallucination, coding or not is possible but so far with no real concrete answer.

It's already much improved on the early days.

But I wonder when we'll be happy? Do we expect colleagues friends and family to be 100% laser-accurate 100% of the time? I'd wager we don't. Should we expect that from an artificial intelligence too?

Yes we should expect better from an AI that has a knowledge base much larger than any individual and which can very quickly find and consume documentation. I also expect them to not get stuck trying the same thing they've already been told doesn't work, same as I would expect from a person.
