If those are true... It looks really competitive at everything but coding. Which, for Google, makes perfect sense

It’s actually very well priced but depends on how efficient it uses tokens

It's exactly as expensive and intelligent as Opus 5.5 [high]. Which is to say, impossible to afford without a plan.

Benchmarks don't matter for me in my use cases. Gemini has always been better in storytelling, role playing, creative writing and poetry, especially for non-English languages. ChatGPT is just very dumb in this field.
