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.

Making LLMs know what they don't know is a hard problem. Many attempts at making them refuse to answer what they don't know caused them to refuse to answer things they did in fact know.

They are the perfect "fake it till you make it" example cranked up to 11. They'll bullshit you, but will do it confidently and with proper grammar.

I can see in some contexts that being desirable if it can be a parameter that can be tweaked. I guess it's not that easy, or we'd already have it.
