Saying "Asking Gemini 3" doesn't mean much. The video/animation is using "Gemini 3 Fast". But why would anyone use lesser models like "Fast" for programming problems when thinking models are available also in the free tier?

"Fast" models are mostly useless in my experience.

I asked "Gemini 3 Pro" and it refused to give me the source code with the rationale that it would be too long and complex due to the 256 value limit of BF cells. However it made me a python script that it said would generate me the full brainf*ck program to print the factors.

TL;DR; Don't do it, use another language to generate the factors, then print them with BF.



I agree but it is kinda strange that this model (Gemini 3 fast) achieved such a high score on ARC-AGI-2. Makes you wonder.
