It appears that this impacted gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25 somehow? grounding with google search no longer works.
I had a workflow running that would pull news articles from the past 24 hours. It now refuses to believe the current date is 2025-04-17. Even with search turned on and I ask it what the date is it and it always replies sometime in July 2024.

Nice! Have used quite a few tools like this to convert data government agencies report in pdfs to csvs. The biggest challenge that existing tools fail to adequately address is when table formats vary (e.g., increasing level of indentation). Perhaps formatting those in json first would be easier
Does anyone use AWS or other cloud providers to mine crypto? Can't imagine it's profitable today, but wondering if there was anybody leveraging that in the early days to mine without buying a bunch of equipment.
