I tried using Gemini 3.0 on a codebase that previously worked like a charm with 2.5—plugging the repo in, getting almost perfect feature implementations. Since the upgrade it’s been hallucinating, spitting out non‑existent code, and the GitHub connect feels clunky. The whole experience has been frustrating and feels like a step backward, even if I might be missing something.

I keep trying to use Gemini Canvas but it just crashes on my computer every time. I’ve tried restarting and reinstalling, but nothing helps. The constant crashes are halting my work and leaving me frustrated, as I can’t figure out why it keeps failing.
I tried to spin up a voice agent on Antigravity using the mars8 model, but the model selection never progressed—it just kept looping endlessly. Every time I hit “run” it got stuck, and I couldn’t get past the initial setup. The whole process felt like a dead end, and I’m left wondering if it’s just my setup or a broader issue with the service.
