Cursor with Gemini 2.5 Pro (exp AND max) used to be beast until April 22nd. I don’t know what happened, but suddenly Gemini started to degrade in performance to an unusable state.
At the core of the issue seems to be that “thoughts” often - though not always - no longer get captured in the thinking bubble; instead, they appear as normal output which gets reprocessed again and again, until the model falls apart, often repeating itself infinitely.
I can’t tell whether this is Gemini’s fault or Cursor’s, but it has rendered Gemini useless in Cursor.
Are you finding it worse after the outage? It is working but it is way dumber, forgetful, makes the same mistakes, not detailed, missing things. How unfortunate
Curious if you’re finding the same?
Yes, indeed! I find myself using Sonnet when it‘s even a bit more complex. I often interrupt Gem‘s poking around with a simple: ‚Take over, my dev is stuck.‘ In 90% of cases Claude just gets the job finished.
Gem is super fast, but has become unreliable,
It sometimes or often misses the most obvious things.
