also, this is what chat-style interfaces encourage. Anything where the "enter" key sends the message instead of creating a paragraph block is just hell.

I'm prompting Gemini, and I write:

I have the following code, can you help me analyze it? <press return>

<expect to paste the code into my chat window>

but Gemnini is already generating output, usually saying "I'm waiting for you to enter the code"

Yeah, seems like current models might benefit from a more email-like UI, and this'll be more true as they get longer task time horizons.

Maybe we want a smaller model tuned for back and forth to help clarify the "planning doc" email. Makes sense that having it all in a single chat-like interface would create confusion and misbehavior.

Like many chat-style interfaces, it's typically shift-enter to insert a newline.
