Strengths side by side

Where each model shines, according to benchmarks and provider positioning.

Gemini 3.1 Pro

1. Google's most advanced reasoning Gemini model

  • Designed to solve complex problems across multimodal inputs, including text, audio, images, video, PDFs, and full code repositories.
  • Google highlights improved software engineering behavior, better agentic performance, and stronger usability in domains like finance and spreadsheets.

2. Large multimodal context with substantial output room

  • Supports a 1,048,576 token input context window for large repositories, long documents, and multi-source workflows.
  • Allows up to 65,536 output tokens for longer answers, plans, and code generations.

3. More efficient thinking with expanded controls

  • Improves token efficiency and reasoning performance across use cases.
  • Adds the MEDIUM thinking_level option to better balance cost, speed, and quality.

4. Strong support for production agents

  • Supports grounding with Google Search, code execution, function calling, structured outputs, context caching, RAG, and chat completions.
  • Also offers a custom-tools endpoint tuned for agentic workflows that mix bash-like tools with custom code tools.
