I naively went onto Gemini in order to try to use the new model and had what I could only describe as the worst conversation I've had with an AI since GPT 3.5[1]. Is this really the model that's on top of the leaderboard right now? This feels about 500 ELO points worse than my typical conversation with GPT 5.

Edit: OK, OK, I actually got it to work, and yes, I admit the results are incredible[2]. I honestly have no idea what happened with Pro 2.5 the first time.

Are you doing roleplay?

sometimes these bots just go awry. i wish you could checkpoint spots in a conversation so you could replay from a that point, maybe with a push in the latent space or a new seed.
