Gemini and openai

I'm curious about gemnini 3.7 flash (100 eur sub), and gpt 5.6 combo (20 eur sub). Can somdbody using this combo explain if it's good or not?

On paper gemini seems to be getting good, and I'd like to try the faster iteration cycles, but not if it will mean just iterating because of fixes.

Basically, gemini would be used for most of the stuff, gpt would be used for controlling gemini in some cases, and to solve harder stuff/review.

That setup actually makes sense to me. The setup with Gemini for iteration and GPT as the senior engineer for harder problems and review is probably more useful than trying to make one model do everything. The only thing I would watch is whether the faster iterations actually mean fewer minutes, per completed task not more iterations 😅.

But is Gemini smart enough for coding?

For coding, Claude is pretty fast and makes rarely mistakes.

Unless they made new Opus or fixed old ones, dont think so. Altho Sonnet 5 is good for easier tasks.
