You can try out Gemini 3.0 Pro for free at https://aistudio.google.com/ Gemini 2.5 Pro was still my go-to model for full fledged vibe coding and I had been hearing rumors of 3.0 so I'm excited to see if finally drop. I'll be testing it out later this week. But on top of that, Google also released their new IDE, Antigravity. Similar to Cursor (and maybe a repurposed Windsurf) it is an AI based coding platform, but right now you can use everything in it for free so worth downloading and practicing some vibe coding for no cost at all. Let me know if you try them out or have any vibe coding questions!

With all the crazy AI models that dropped a few weeks ago: GPT 5.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro, Grok 4.1, Claude Opus 4.5... OpenAI apparently issued a "Code Red" email that they need to get GPT back to the top of the list. Rumors are there's 4 more models, possible "GPT 5.2" getting ready to release soon to put OpenAI back on top in the AI race. In the meantime, Gemini 3 Pro, Grok 4.1, and Claude Opus 4.5 are trading to be at the top in terms of best performing models for text and development. Google is leading in basically every AI use case now: text, images, video and audio. When in doubt, can't go wrong with using a Google model for your AI needs. But what have you been using lately?

ChatGPT-5.1 Pro launched and it's slow but smart, solving problems that people thought couldn't be solved by AI. ChatGPT-5.1-Codex-Max also launched for the vibe coders. It supposed to be able to focus on a single task for up to 24 hours working on it's own in the cloud. Gemini 3.0 Pro also went live this week, pumping insane landing pages and simple video games in a single prompt. And Nano Banana Pro also released right after Gemini 3.0 Pro, and it finally may be here. Photo-realistic images from a single prompt. Let me know if you end up trying one or all of them!
