Chatgpt 5.2 thinking is significantly better quality for most knowledge work, but it trades off in speed.

That has been my experience. Primarily because it is allowed to expend far more test-time tokens than Gemini 3.0 Pro to solve the same prompt.

And GPT costs 4x as much

No offense, but that seems like a poor benchmark. These initial vibe checks are easily swayed by personal brand biases.

The brand bias is heavily against Google, not in Googles favor

In context of AI I'm mostly seeing anti-OpenAI pro-Google bias.

Facts. These HN threads are half astroturfing and paid shills. Near impossible to decifer authentic takes that are not actual colleagues or people IRL

Fair. No benchmark is perfect.

I do pay special attention to what the most negative comments say (which in this case are unusually positive). And people discussing performance on their own personal benchmarks.

i don't know, chat gpt seems to hallucinate a lot less
