But ultimately, you need to try them yourself on the tasks you care about and just see. My personal experience is that right now, Gemini Pro performs the best at everything I throw at it. I think it's superior to Claude and all of the OSS models by a small margin, even for things like coding.
Me too!
> I like Gemini Pro's UI over Claude so much
This I don't understand. I mean, I don't see a lot of difference in both UIs. Quite the opposite, apart from some animations, round corners and color gradings, they seem to look very alike, no?
I made it reduce the price of first month to 1.49$ (It could go to 0.99$ and my frugal mind wanted it haha but I just couldn't have it do that lol)
Anyways, afterwards for privacy purposes/( I am a minor so don't have a card), ended up going to g2a to get a 10$ Visa gift card essentially and used it. (I had to pay a 1$ extra but sure)
Installed kimi code on my mac and trying it out. Honestly, I am kind of liking it.
My internal benchmark is creating pomodoro apps in golang web... Gemini 3 pro has nailed it, I just tried the kimi version and it does have some bugs but it feels like it added more features.
Gonna have to try it out for a month.
I mean I just wish it was this cheap for the whole year :< (As I could then move from, say using the completely free models)
Gonna have to try it out more!
I was thinking, that maybe it's better to make my own benchmarks with the questions/things I'm interested in, and whenever a new model comes out run those tests with that model using open-router.
