Is there a tutorial on how to add this latest model to Cursor via the API key?
When I add the API key from AI studio to Cursor, (https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey), I only see the previous Gemini Flash 1.5 model.
The announcement is here and its performance looks very promising. I’d like to try it vs Sonnet.
I’ve been trying the Gemini models a lot more. I haven’t encountered a use case so far where Claude Sonnet didn’t do it better than the latest Gemini models.
Its faster, and u can input more context, but claude sonnet is more capable for sure. Nonetheless its been very useful for large file editing for me at least.
I was playing with it, it seems quite strong - similar level to Claude, maybe slightly weaker. I hit “rate limits” within a few requests. The new 002 model is not shown in my quotas page on Google Cloud.
The apply model is pretty broken with its output so I had to manually take most of its edit suggestions and apply them by selecting all text in a file and "edit"ing it with the suggested changes and claude sonnet.
Be aware folks that the prices dont go down until 1st Oct, it’s redic expensive now i.e. 7/21 dollars per M for >128K
I have also noticed that gemini 1.5pro 002 has a nasty habit of recommending no-op changes across all your files, so it spools off a million applys to your code which do nothing, then you hit the rate limit of the Cursor apply model and it moans at you
