3.1 flash lite — $0.25/$1.50 — plus insanely fast.
3.1 flash lite isn’t quite as good as 3 flash preview (which is the most incredible cheap model… I really love it) — but 3.1 is half the price and the insane speed opens up different use cases.
For comparison, Opus models are $5/$25
- SwellJoe 5mo agoOpus 4.7 is smarter than even Gemini 3.1 Pro on nearly every metric, though. You're comparing apples to oranges. Gemini 3.1 Flash is somewhere in the neighborhood between current Haiku and Sonnet, I think? Still a better value than the Anthropic models, I guess, which are quite pricey. Since Gemini 3.5 Flash is raising the price to $1.50/$9.00, it's priced between Haiku and Sonnet. If it outperforms Sonnet, it remains a good value, I guess. Though DeepSeek V4 Flash is much cheaper than all of them, and seemingly competitive.

- robwwilliams 5mo agoNot in my fields of science: Genetics and neuroscience. The combination of Opus 4.7 Adaptive used with well structure project folders is amazingly useful.
- epolanski 5mo agoAnd even on coding, they are mostly good at generating new code. They sure are not at thorough analysis or debugging, etc.
- dr_dshiv 5mo agoDefinitely apples to oranges, sorry I wasn’t clear. I only included opus pricing for comparison—it is vastly superior. But even 3.1 flash lite is really useful. Of course, if I manage to reach my limits every week on my Claude $200 sub, opus 4.7 is probably priced closer to flash!
