And of course they hiked the API prices Standard Context(≤ 200K tokens) Input $2.00 vs $1.25 (Gemini 3 pro input is 60% more expensive vs 2.5) Output $12.00 vs $10.00 (Gemini 3 pro output is 20% more expensive vs 2.5) Long Context(> 200K tokens) Input $4.00 vs $2.50 (same +60%) Output $18.00 vs $15.00 (same +20%)

Is it the first time long context has separate pricing? I hadn’t encountered that yet

Google has been doing that for a while.

Supposedly this is the model card. Very impressive results. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G6CFG6jXAAA1p0I?format=jpg&name=... Also, the full document: https://archive.org/details/gemini-3-pro-model-card/page/n3/...

Every time I see a table like this numbers go up. Can someone explain what this actually means? Is there just an improvement that some tests are solved in a better way or is this a breakthrough and this model can do something that all others can not?

What we have all been waiting for: "Create me a SVG of a pelican riding on a bicycle" https://www.svgviewer.dev/s/FfhmhTK1

That is pretty impressive. So impressive it makes you wonder if someone has noticed it being used a benchmark prompt.

Simon says if he gets a suspiciously good result he'll just try a bunch of other absurd animal/vehicle combinations to see if they trained a special case: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/13/training-for-pelicans-...

Claude Opus is $15 input, $75 output.

It hadn't occurred to me until now that the pelican could overcome the short legs issue by not sitting on the seat and instead put its legs inside the frame of the bike. That's probably closer to how a real pelican would ride a bike, even if it wasn't deliberate.

It's available to be selected, but the quota does not seem to have been enabled just yet. "Failed to generate content, quota exceeded: you have reached the limit of requests today for this model. Please try again tomorrow." "You've reached your rate limit. Please try again later." Update: as of 3:33 PM UTC, Tuesday, November 18, 2025, it seems to be enabled.

Works for me.

I'm sure this is a very impressive model, but gemini-3-pro-preview is failing spectacularly at my fairly basic python benchmark. In fact, gemini-2.5-pro gets a lot closer (but is still wrong). For reference: gpt-5.1-thinking passes, gpt-5.1-instant fails, gpt-5-thinking fails, gpt-5-instant fails, sonnet-4.5 passes, opus-4.1 passes (lesser claude models fail). This is a reminder that benchmarks are meaningless – you…

that's why everyone using AI for code should code in rust only.

Not the preview crap again. Haven't they tested it enough? When will it be available in Gemini-CLI?

Honestly I liked 2.5 Pro preview much more than the final version
