Summary

A practitioner shares findings from testing over 200 prompts on Gemini and Kimi, revealing key differences in how each model responds and offering a curated set of effective prompts.

Most prompt packs are written for GPT-3. Gemini and Kimi respond completely differently — longer reasoning chains, different delimiter behavior, different failure modes. After running these models professionally for months I found: 1. Gemini responds better to explicit output format constraints. 2. Kimi loves multi-step chain-of-thought but breaks on vague persona prompts. 3. Most "expert prompts" from Twitter don't transfer. I packaged the tested prompts that actually hold up — link in the first comment.

Google is updating the Gemini Interactions API to replace strict user/model roles with a flexible step-based system (outputs + roles → steps), introducing agentic steps like user_input, thought, function_call, tool_call, and model_output. The update also consolidates response_format controls and requires SDK upgrades (Python/JS ≥2.0.0) or a new API header to opt-in.
