Opus 4.7 is smarter than even Gemini 3.1 Pro on nearly every metric, though. You're comparing apples to oranges. Gemini 3.1 Flash is somewhere in the neighborhood between current Haiku and Sonnet, I think? Still a better value than the Anthropic models, I guess, which are quite pricey.

Since Gemini 3.5 Flash is raising the price to $1.50/$9.00, it's priced between Haiku and Sonnet. If it outperforms Sonnet, it remains a good value, I guess. Though DeepSeek V4 Flash is much cheaper than all of them, and seemingly competitive.

Outside of coding, claude models are pretty meh. GPT and Gemini are the workhorses of science/math/finance.

  • Not in my fields of science: Genetics and neuroscience. The combination of Opus 4.7 Adaptive used with well structure project folders is amazingly useful.

  • And even on coding, they are mostly good at generating new code.

    They sure are not at thorough analysis or debugging, etc.
