Seems more like a PSA on how to do it yourself with plausible deniability.
But it's very competitive and significantly faster
Massive kudos to Anthropic.
Most things aren't worth commenting on except the gemini posts here, which I find insane.
And pretty much every example you gave Id expect quite a lot more for 2x the amount? Idk man
Not the guy doing lotteries for voters!
You'd notice how good Opus is in Claude Code. IMHO CC is the secret sauce
Counterpoint: price will matter before we hit AGI
Opus is absurdly good in Claude code but theres a lot of use cases Gemini is great at.
I think Google is further behind with the harness than the model
But Flash is 1/8 the cost of sonnet and its not impressive?
These are not data driven observations just vibes
Think about ANY other product and what you'd expect from the competition thats half the price. Yet people here act like Gemini is dead weight

Update:
3.1 was 40% of the cost to run AA index vs Opus Thinking AND SONNET, beat Opus, and still 30% faster for output speed.

Pro still leads in visual intelligence.
The company that most locks away their gold is Anthropic IMO and for good reason, as Opus 4.6 is expensive AF
If you're going for cost performance balance choosing Gemini Pro is bewildering. Gemini Flash _outperforms_ Pro in some coding benchmarks and is the clear parento frontier leader for intelligence/cost. It's even cheaper than Kimi 2.5.
