Yes, gemini loops but I've found almost always it's just a matter of interrupting and telling it to continue.
Claude is very good until it tries something 2-3 times, can't figure it out and then tries to trick you by changing your tests instead of your code (if you explicitly tell it not to, maybe it will decide to ask) OR introduce hyper-fine-tuned IFs to fit your tests, EVEN if you tell it NOT to.
I haven't used 3.1 yet, but 3.0 Pro has been frustrating for two reasons:
- it is "lazy": I keep having to tell it to finish, or continue, it wants to stop the task early.
- it hallucinates: I have arguments with it about making up API functions to well known libraries which just do not exist.
