Gemini 3 Pro Preview also got more expensive than 2.5 Pro.

2.5 Pro: $1.25 input, $10 output (million tokens)

3 Pro Preview: $2 input, $12 output (million tokens)

Literally no difference in productivity from a free/ <0.50c output OpenRouter model. All these > $1.00+ per mm output are literal scams. No added value to the world.

5.1 Pro is great

I struggle to see where Pro is better than 5.x with Thinking. Actually prefer the latter.

Many problems where latter spins its wheel and Pro gets it in one go, for me. You need to give Pro full files as context and you need to fit within its ~60k (I forget exactly) silent context window if using via ChatGPT. Don't have it make edits directly, have it give the execution plan back to Codex
