In my tests, in real production use cases, it's a hard pass.

It's actually 10-15% slower and also more expensive than Gemini 3.1 Pro, because it thinks more than 2.5x Gemini 3.1 Pro.

So that thinking verbosity nullifies the speed and cost gains.

AND the quality is worse than 3.1 Pro for our use cases, making mistakes Pro doesn't make.
