Gemini 3 is a few days old and the massive leap in performance and model reasoning has big implications for builders: as models begin to self-heal, builders are literally tearing out the functionality their built just months ago: ripping out the defensive coding and reshipping their agent harnesses entirely. Ravin Kumar (Google DeepMind) joins Hugo to breaks down exactly why the rapid evolution of models like Gemini 3 is changing how we build software. They detail the shift from simple tool calling to building reliable "Agent Harnesses", explore the architectural tradeoffs between deterministic workflows and high-agency systems, the nuance of preventing context rot in massive windows, and why proper evaluation infrastructure is the only way to manage the chaos of autonomous loops.
