Gemini 3 is great, I have moved from gpt and haven't looked back. However, like many great models, I suspect they're expensive to run and eventually Google will nerf the model once it gains enough traction, either by distillation, quantizing, or smaller context windows in order to stop bleeding money.

Here is a report (whether true or not) of it happening:

While I don't use Gemini, I'm betting they'll end up being the cheapest in the future because Google is developing the entire stack, instead of relying on GPUs. I think that puts them in a much better position than other companies like OpenAI.
