Gemini seems better trained for learning and I think Google has made a more deliberate effort to optimize for pedagoical best practices. (E.g. tutoring, formative feedback, cognitive load optimization)
As far as academic research is concerned (e.g. this threads topic), I can't say.
Agreed I usually use Gemini for explaining concepts and ChatGPT for getting things done on research projects.
Yes, I meant academic research.
Gemini is like someone with short-term memory loss; after the first response, it forgets everything. That being said, I have checked multiple model and gemini can sometime give accurate answer.
Gemini is a series with a lot of individual models.
What you are describing doesn't match my experience at all with Gemini 3 or 3.1, especially the pro version.
