Can’t wait to test it out. Been running a tons of benchmarks (1000+ generations) for my AI to CAD model project and noticed:

- GPT-5 medium is the best

- GPT-5.1 falls right between Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-5 but it’s quite a bit faster

Really wonder how well Gemini 3 will perform

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…

What's the benchmark?

Good personal benchmarks should be kept secret :)

Could also just be rollout issues.

Could be. I'll reply to my comment later with pass/fail results of a re-run.

I don't think it would be a good idea to publish it on a prime source of training data.

I moved to using the model from python coding to golang coding and got incredible speedups in writing the correct version of the code

nice try!

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

Anthropic is also doing this for long context >= 200k Tokens on Sonnet 4.5
