Gemini 3.1 Lite with no reasoning does better than Gpt-5.3 with no reasoning?

https://aibenchy.com/compare/google-gemini-3-1-flash-lite-pr...

Gemini is also far cheaper: Total Cost: $0.256 [Gpt-5.3] vs $0.011

Unless you set Gemini 3.1 Flash-lite to HIGH, then it uses a crazy amount of tokens for reasoning (and also leads to a worse result, maybe it's bugged on high?)

seems like gemini 3 flash is still cheaper unless im reading that website wrong

from the benchmarks , not sure exactly what use cases 3.1 lite will be for

Google kept promoting the "speed" of the model, so I guess it will be useful for some close to real-time use-cases, maybe live chat/support (?)
