Developers split over Google's Gemini for agentic coding work

According to a post on X by @theo, Gemini's hallucination rates in agentic coding are surreal. He cites a run in which the model invented line numbers, IP addresses and script arguments, and calls it "a straight up liability in your stack." The same snippet notes that @bindureddy takes the opposite view, predicting Google will overtake OpenAI and possibly Anthropic by year end. He also says his company is moving its Sol and Sonnet workloads to Google's Argon. These are individual posts on X, not independent tests.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

@theo says Gemini's hallucination rates in agentic coding are surreal, citing a run where it invented line numbers, IP addresses and script arguments, and called it "a straight up liability in your stack." Taking the opposite side, @bindureddy predicts Google will overtake OpenAI and possibly Anthropic by year end...

Teams weighing Gemini for agentic coding will need to judge the reliability claims for themselves, since the two accounts point in opposite directions. Builders who run autonomous coding tasks may want to check outputs for invented details such as line numbers or arguments before relying on them. Watch whether the workload move described by @bindureddy is followed by published results from either side.

Teams using AI at work may want to compare this against current productivity and review workflows.
