There has been a severe quality regression in web layout generation when initializing a new project from scratch using Gemini Balanced 3.8 Flash. Previously couple of monthe ago, the model generated modern, cohesive, and high-quality designs. Following recent updates, the layout generation has degraded drastically for brand-new projects.
The model does output CSS, but the styling is extremely primitive and visually broken. Common layout failures include:
- Overlapping Text: Typography elements crash into each other due to broken line heights or absolute positioning mistakes.
- Unnecessary Page Breaks / Line Breaks: Random vertical spacing, unintended margins, or layout collapses that disrupt the visual flow.
- Bare / Unstyled Navigation Bars: Navbars are generated with little-to-no styling, reverting to raw bullet lists or completely unaligned links.
Behavior Across Platforms & Models:
- Web Option vs App Option: This critical failure happens 100% of the time when selecting the Web option for a new project. If the App option is selected instead, the error still exists but it is intermittent (it only happens sometimes).
- Model 3.8 Flash vs Speed Model: When switching to the Speed model, the layout outcomes improve slightly and look better than the 3.8 Flash outputs. However, the quality is still significantly inferior compared to the previous version’s standards, which were highly superior.
- Existing Projects Exception: This issue only occurs during clean project generation from scratch (even when a
design.mdarchitecture blueprint is provided). If the model is tasked with modifying or adding features to an existing project that already has established styles, it respects the existing codebase and performs its job perfectly without breaking anything.
Expected Result
The model should generate a polished, modern, and production-ready visual interface, matching the high-quality layout capabilities it possessed prior to recent updates.
Actual Result
The website renders with highly broken, elementary styles, especially under the Web project configuration. Text overlaps, navigation menus lack alignment/padding, and random vertical spacing breaks the page layout, rendering the scratch generation feature unusable without manual heavy refactoring.
