I think Gemini 3.0 the model is smarter than Opus 4.5, but Claude Code still gives better results in practice than Gemini CLI. I assume this is because the model is only half the battle, and the rest is how good your harness and integration tooling are. But that also doesn't seem like a very deep moat, or something Google can't catch up on with focused attention, and I suspect by this time next year, or maybe even six months from now, they'll be about the same.

The harnessing in Google's agentic IDE (Antigravity) is pretty great - the output quality is indistinguishable between Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3 for my use cases[1]
1. I tend to give detailed requirements for small-to-medium sized tasks (T-shirt sizing). YMMV on larger, less detailed tasks.
