Gemini 3

Why it worked

The video likely resonated with developers by offering a practical, up-to-date look at AI tools in a coding workflow. The creator's honest assessment of costs and user experience, along with a clear comparison of different AI models, provides valuable insights for others in the field.

Summary

The creator shares their updated AI coding workflow, highlighting their use of Cursor as their primary IDE and Claude Code for most tasks. They are increasingly incorporating Gemini 3, particularly for frontend development, and express a desire to use it more directly within their workflow.

Structure

1Introduction of updated AI coding workflow
2Discussion of primary IDE (Cursor) and its cost
3Explanation of current AI assistant (Claude Code)
4Introduction of Gemini 3 as a new addition
5Comparison of Gemini 3's strengths and limitations
6Concluding thoughts on current setup and future desires

Product placement

Cursor acts as an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for coding. Removing it would change the video's subject. Claude Code acts as an AI coding assistant. Removing it would change the video's subject. Gemini 3 is an AI model used for UI/UX and frontend development. Removing it would change the video's subject. Gemini CLI is a command-line interface tool for interacting with Gemini models. Removing it would change the video's subject.

This is my updated AI coding workflow as of December 2025. Cursor is still my primary IDE, but I only pay for the $20 base subscription because I want to pay for that tab to complete model. I've tried a couple of other solutions out there, but I still find Cursor to have the best tab to complete experience. Claude Code handles the bulk of my agent to coding workflow, and I pay for the 20x max plan, which is the $200 a month plan. Super expensive, but very worth it in my opinion. And I pretty much always default to using the Opus 4.5 model. But the new addition that I recently added into the mix is a lot more Gemini 3 into my workflow. I think right now, Gemini 3 is the best model out there for UI/UX and frontend development in general. So I use it whenever I need to do any type of frontend work for the various apps that I'm building. I primarily use it within the Gemini CLI tool because I do have a Gemini Pro subscription, so I do have access to it. But sometimes I also use Gemini 3 directly within Cursor as well, which is a part of my $20 a month subscription that I pay for. I actually want to use more Gemini 3 in my day-to-day coding to replace some usage of Claude Code, but quite frankly the Gemini CLI user experience is the main thing that's holding me back. If I can use the same exact Claude Code user interface within the terminal, but then just also hit the Gemini 3 API endpoints, I'll be so happy to do that. I really do think Gemini 3 is a great model, but for the time being Claude Code Opus 4.5 takes up the vast majority of my day-to-day coding work still. That is my current AI coding setup. I'm curious to hear what yours is, lemme know in the comments down below.
