  Yep I learned this the hard way after racking up big bills just using Sonnet 3.7 in my IDE. Gemini is just as good (and not nearly as willing to agree with every dumb thing I say) and it’s way cheaper.

      Your gemini pricing is for flash, not pro. Also, claude uses prompt caching and gemini currently does not. The pricing isn't super straightforward because of that.
