Is there a less biased discussion?

The OP link is a thinly veiled and biased advert for something called composio and really a biased and overly flowery view of Gemini 2.5 pro.

Example:

“Everyone’s talking about this model on Twitter (X) and YouTube. It’s trending everywhere, like seriously. The first model from Google to receive such fanfare.

And it is #1 in the LMArena just like that. But what does this mean? It means that this model is killing all the other models in coding, math, Science, Image understanding, and other areas.”

I don't see it.

Composio is a tool to help integration of LLM tool calling / MCPs. It really helped me streamline setting up some MCPs with Claude desktop.

I don't see how pushing Gemini would help their business beyond encouraging people to play with the latest and greatest models. There's a 1 sentence call-to-action at the end which is pretty tame for a company blog.

The examples don't even require you to use Composio - they're just talking about prompts fed to different models, not even focused on tool calling, MCPs, or the Composio platform.

I believe their point was that they are writing about what people want to read (a new AI breakthrough), possibly embellishing or cherry-picking results, although we can't prove/disprove it easily.

This approach yields more upvotes and views on their website, which ultimately leads to increased conversions for their tool.

If it's not astroturfing, the people who are so vocal about it act in a way that's nearly indistinguishable from it. I keep looking for concrete examples of use cases that show it's better, and everything seems to point back to "everyone is talking about it" or anecdotal examples that don't even provide any details about the problem that Gemini did well on and that other models all failed at.

If I give you hundreds millions of dollars for just making a clone of something that exists (an LLM) and hype the shit out of it, how far would you go?

Zvi Moshowitz's blog [0] is IME a pretty good place to keep track of the state of things, it's well-sourced and in-depth without being either too technical or too vibes-based. Generally every time a model is declared the new best you can count on him to have a detailed post examining the claim within a couple days.
