I'm not getting any refusals but it just seems like a bad model or at least broken at the moment. I have a task of taking a messy research code base and porting it into a clean project structure skeleton that I commonly use. Gemini 3.5 Pro High in antigravity cli takes less than 5 minutes and did a good job. Fable 5 High took 30 minutes to port some of the code, then just copied the rest to a folder called "reference" and decided the task was done. No code cleanup or anything. Had to clarify multiple times (which Gemini did not need) and its still going more than an hour later still not having finished.

Previously when I did similar tasks with Opus 4.7/4.8 and GPT 5.5 I had no problems.
