Sol high is almost the same speed if you take into account drastically lower token use. Look at the artificial analysis speed vs token use. Gemini is 7x faster but 5x more tokens. And that's with Sol high being a substantially better model.
Edit: and Sol medium actually has the same AA intelligence score as Gemini 3.7, and has >7x fewer tokens, actually making it faster
is presumes you are doing longer difficult agentic tasks, if youre doing a simple problem in 1 or 2 shots, not really multi turn then theres no comparison.
