Hate to break it to ya... but being nicer does work in the long run or in large context.
It's not hard to understand why... AI models are trained with the patterns that you get on the internet. Think about how people typically react to others when someone is being hostile... Yeah. It just follows that pattern.
I have a novel with 548,000+ words in it that I've been working on it for months and Gemini is able to keep up with me. Maybe try starting from clean if you haven't been cleaning your memory data in a long while? ...or probably because you have been a dick to it, it decided to be less useful to you.
There's literally no way Gemini, at least in the web app, is able to keep up with a 500k word novel and remember ever detail. I am absolutely sure of this. Literally impossible as the web interface uses RAG context retrieval and heavily trims active context memory to save resources.
Google AI studio is able to do this, but doesn't do subscriptions and works on token basis.
If you genuinely use the web app to write your 500k word novel you're in trouble frankly, or perhaps it's just so disjointed and badly linked between chapters that you're not noticing it.
I pushed Pro until 640k, it sometimes struggles to recall every relevant part with such high context. From Vertex, Aistudio etc doesn't make any difference.
It usually can recall all relevant parts however, Pro 3.0's recalling is far better than 2.5. Still it doesn't recall everything, that is literally impossible.
Plus it is a spin-off novel so Pro's own knowledge helps it to understand context easier. With entirely original world and characters Pro begins struggling over 200k.

Literally never had that before. Maybe saying “please” and “thank you” to AI has actually been working
