I am not sure you can call what they have gospels. Almost all gnostic literature was destroyed. Of the few things hidden by monks or whatnot that survived the only one that has a lot of notoriety is the Pistis Sophia.
But to your question, yeah basically… He was talking/teaching about some pretty freaky stuff according to the Pistis Sophia. Detailing higher order cosmology and technical jargon about how you should navigate your soul in the afterlife and talks about the divine fallen entity Sophia. Sophia is the higher realm God that they believe birthed all.
Just this god of this failed material realm that we’re in.
They believe this reality was a mistake and the god of it is an imposter who’s either gormless or actively cruel, depending on which sect.
There is a higher realm above this one though with the true big daddy good guy god in it, and that’s who Jesus was on about in the new testament.
Jesus is more like a prophet to gnostics as he’s the first one to pick up on and preach about the higher realm god.
(I’ve been weirdly into learning about gnosticism lately, it’s fascinating stuff.)
Was Jesus talking about the higher realm God in the gnostic gospels?

If he’s talking about how loving and kind god is, it’s the higher realm one.
The demiurge is the insane temper tantrum of a god described in the old testament.
