yup. it absolutely does follow the instructions to the letter. still testing its coding abilities. I noticed cursor says, “Model does not support images”. Is this true? I have found it to be one of the best at reading images when I use it on [gemini.google.com](http://gemini.google.com). Does that mean there is no image support with the API? Gotta to go check the docs. ---

Hey, `gemini-2.0-flash-exp`, `gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp`, and `gemini-exp-1206` are now available for testing in the editor! They’re new and experimental, so excuse some weird behaviour early on, while we work on bringing these models up to the same polish as the Claude and 4o models. Let us know how you get on with them here: > [@Google Gemini Models - Performance and Feedback](https://forum.cursor.com/t/google-gemini-models-performance-and-feedback/36309): > > Hey, In our latest update, you should now see the new gemini-2.0-flash-exp and gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp models are now available for all users in your Cursor settings page, along with gemini-exp-1206 which was already available to be enabled. These are still somewhat experimental until we’ve tested them further, but we’d rather give you access to test it yourself while we work to improve the models, then keep them from you until we have polished them to the same level as the Claude and 4o… ---

I’ve seen comments on Reddit that gemini-exp-1206 is superior to gemini-2.0-flash-exp and gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp in coding tasks, do you guys have the same experience? ---

they freak out especially in composer also doesnt follow instructions from NOTEPAD like creating new files for logging purposes also not editing them flash2.0 thinking is especially insane it keeps giving me its systemprompts and inner logic for no reason ---
