I keep trying to download files generated by Google Gemini, but every attempt fails—the download links never work, no matter how many times I try. I’ve attached examples to show the broken behavior. It’s frustrating because I can’t get the output I need, and it feels like the tool is consistently dropping the ball on this basic feature.

I’ve been using Codex and Claude Opus 4.5, but Gemini CLI with 3.0‑Flash blew me away. It feels insanely fast—about four times quicker than the latest GPT‑5.2 even on high settings—and the costs are sensible. While it’s not quite at the ultra‑high tier of GPT‑5.2‑XHigh or Opus 4.5, it’s practically there, and the speed‑to‑price ratio is exactly what coding agents need. My only gripe is the messy subscription options; an easy in‑app sign‑up would make it perfect.
I tried to get ChatGPT to write “original – chatgpt – banana🍌”. Six months ago it refused outright, and even after I persuaded it, the output was weak and embarrassing. The tool’s behavior felt half‑hearted and sloppy, leaving me annoyed that it couldn’t even handle a simple, playful request.
I’ve been stuck all morning with this “Antigravity” glitch across every AI agent I try—Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Sonnet, GPT‑OSS, you name it. I even reinstalled, logged out and back in, and scoured the troubleshooting guide, but nothing helped. It’s frustrating not being able to get any model to work, and I’m hoping someone else has a fix.
I asked Gemini 3 Pro to recap our whole 117k‑token chat, but it only remembered the last 14k tokens. I’ve never hit this snag before, and it’s really annoying—especially after coming back to AI Studio. I’m left wondering if this is a common issue or just a bug in the app.
