Has anyone else noticed Gemini becoming overly agreeable in /goal mode? Claude seems better at catching real issues

When I give Gemini a coding task using /goal, I’ve noticed something pretty funny/weird. If I say something like:

“I found a really big bug. Did you find it?”

Gemini will very often respond with something like “Yes, I found it” or “I finally figured it out”, even when I haven’t actually identified any bug.

I tested this around 20 times, and it happened almost every time. :sweat_smile:

Sometimes Gemini will spend several minutes reading/changing the code and say it fixed the issue. Then 10 minutes later, if I again say:

“There is still a huge bug. You did really bad. Did you find it?”

it seems to start another investigation and eventually announces that it “found” another major issue. It can almost turn into a loop.

Of course, sometimes there really is a bug and the model genuinely catches something useful. The strange part is how easily the wording of the prompt seems to convince it that a bug must exist.

Another thing I’ve noticed: Claude inside Antigravity has generally been doing a better job for me on larger coding/debugging tasks than Gemini, even though I’m using the higher-end Gemini models. Claude seems a little less likely to immediately agree with my assumption and more likely to actually inspect the code first.

This is just my experience, so I’m curious:

Has anyone else noticed the same behavior?

Especially:

  • Gemini agreeing that a bug exists just because you suggest one
  • Gemini repeatedly “finding” new issues when challenged again
  • Claude performing better than Gemini for longer coding/debugging tasks in Antigravity
