Statements from this episode (17)
Kilpatrick: Gemini 3 Pro is free for app building in AI Studio
“You're going to be able to build apps using Gemini three pro for free in AI studio.”
Kilpatrick: Gemini 3 is live in apps, AI Studio, and APIs
“It's available across a bunch of Google services like the Gemini app. If you're sort of looking for an assistant or the API for developers and enterprises, if you want to build this experience or build Gemini three into your own products.”
Kilpatrick: Users can vibe-code real-time games with Gemini 3 Pro
“And I think with Gemini Three Pro, you can just, Vibe code games in real time, which is really, really awesome.”
Kilpatrick: Generating games is a proxy for an LLM's overall sophistication
“Games are just a proxy for like the model's overall capability. So like, Hey, maybe you're like, I don't actually care about building games. I think as you see some of these examples, it like speaks to the level of sophistication that the model has an understa…”
Kilpatrick: AI Studio demo was vibe-coded quickly, replacing months of engineering
“This is meant to showcase like, you know, single prompt, Generations maybe like a couple of multi-turn in some case, but like this isn't something that like we paid a team of like 10 engineers five months to come up with and then put it into our demo. Like thi…”
Kilpatrick: Tempo Strike camera motion game was vibe coded via Gemini
“That is all vibe coded just using the camera out of the box, which is a ton of fun.”
Kilpatrick: Gemini generated a 20-simulator physics app in one shot
“So we have, like, 20 different simulators running at the same time. This was one-shot vibe coded as well.”
Isenberg: Gemini 3.0 feels more powerful than any vibe coding platform
“I mean, this is one prompt, and it feels like, just this is my gut reaction, this is the first time I'm seeing this just feels like this is kind of like an elevated version of any vibe coding platform I've seen. Like, it just feels like it's going a little bit…”
Kilpatrick: Google AI Studio directly hooks generated apps into Gemini API
“Behind the scenes for folks who haven't played around this experience before, we have sort of all the Gemini API, like all of Google's AI model infrastructure hooked up behind the scenes. So when you ask for AI features the model is like really well primed and…”
Isenberg: Purple is the visual tell for vibe-coded AI apps
“The M dash is to AI writing, which is what purple is to vibe coding.”
Kilpatrick: Gemini 3.0 Pro API undercuts GPT-5.1 Pro and Claude 4.5
“The actual model is two dollars per million input tokens and 12 dollars per million output tokens. So it's priced below some of those sort of comparable competitive models like GBT, 5.1 pro as an example, and Claude 4.5.”
Kilpatrick: Prompting models for 5 extra features solves vibe coding block
“And I, my routinely use this sort of prompt, which I have here, which is just like add in five additional features. And the model sort of takes in all this context and all these ideas that I wouldn't have thought of. And like, even if they're crappy ideas, I c…”
Isenberg: Live vibe coding during brainstorm meetings is the future
“We had an offsite recently and we had like a vibe coder in the offsite and they were just like, as we're spewing ideas, they're just like building in the meeting. And I feel like that that's going to be the future.”
Kilpatrick: Live prototyping during client calls wins customers unaware of AI tools
“If you go to sort of the long tail of like random businesses in America and like meet the business owner, they have not played with these tools. And if you can sort of build something in real time, like I think that blows the mind of so many people and also be…”
Kilpatrick: Gemini 3.0 Pro latency roughly matches Gemini 2.5 Pro
“I think for folks, again, who have used 2.5 pro, I think three point O pro is like roughly on par from a latency standpoint. So there's no I think in some cases it's actually, it's a little bit higher latency, but obviously the model is much smarter.”
Kilpatrick: Google AI Studio is best-in-class in areas but still behind in others
“I think there is a, we have a bunch of gaps. There's a bunch of things that I'm really excited about, like it's free, it's powered by three point O pro. It has all these AI features built in. Like there's a bunch of things that are unique that I think we're li…”
