One thing about Anthropic/OpenAI models is they go off the rails with lots of conversation turns or long contexts. Like when they need to remember a lot of vending machine conversation I guess.

A more objective look: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.06120v1

Gemini is much better. TBH the only models I’ve seen that are half decent at this are:

  • “Alternate attention” models like Gemini, Jamba Large or Falcon H1, depending on the iteration. Some recent versions of Gemini kinda lose this, then get it back.

  • Models finetuned specifically for this, like roleplay models or the Samantha model trained on therapy-style chat.

But most models are overtuned for oneshots like fix this table or write me a function, and don’t invest much in long context performance because it’s not very flashy.
