Reviewer scorecard
“Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.”
“The multimodal capabilities are genuinely best-in-class. Analyzing images, videos, and code in the same conversation is powerful for debugging visual UIs.”
“Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.”
“Deep Think is impressive for hard problems but the standard mode still hallucinates more than Claude. Use the right mode for the right task.”
“The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.”
“Google's advantage is integration — Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Meet, Maps. When AI is everywhere in your workflow, the compound value is enormous.”
