Gemini may be failing to read long book attachments fully
and are reported to treat long attached books as if they stop around the halfway point. The same kind of long-book reading may have worked before, but both models now say the attached books are cut off partway through. This matters for anyone using Gemini to summarize or analyze a full book, manual, or long document, because the answer may be based on only part of the file.
