Gemini 3 Pro

6.1/10

Same model as Gemini 3 Pro in Language Models, listed again here because it’s used as a coding model and scored on that rubric. It counts once in the directory’s totals.

Strengths & weaknesses

  • Resolves 69.6% of SWE-bench Verified issues on the standard open harness
  • Stronger general reasoning than the Flash tier, which shows on problems that need architectural judgement
  • Scores below its own Flash tier on the same SWE-bench harness, so paying for Pro doesn’t buy better issue-fixing
  • Not served through OpenRouter, so its price and context window aren’t independently measured here

Confidence band 6.16.2 · a model inside this range isn’t meaningfully apart from this one

Price & availability

Measured the same way, deliberately kept out of the score: what a model costs doesn’t change what it can do.

    No independent measurement yet

w = weight, each criterion’s share of the overall score. Missing marks don’t count for or against. How scoring works

OpenAI
Under evaluation
  • Excellent terminal automation, git operations, and CI/CD debugging
  • Far more token-efficient than reasoning-heavy rivals on routine tasks
  • Needs detailed, unambiguous instructions; struggles with vague requests
  • Smaller context window than some rivals, a constraint on huge monorepos
Anthropic
  • Strong at inferring intent from vague prompts and architectural context
  • 1M-token context supports coherent multi-file, cross-repo refactors
  • Can use many more tokens than leaner coding models on routine work
  • Narrates its reasoning at length, which slows down quick tasks
Alibaba
  • Open-weight performance within striking distance of proprietary leaders
  • Free to self-host, appealing for cost-sensitive or air-gapped teams
  • Requires serious infrastructure to run at full size
  • Tooling and IDE integrations are less mature than Copilot, Cursor, or Codex
Cursor
Under evaluation
  • Tight, real-time feedback loop; you see and steer every change
  • Affordable flat-rate pricing for all-day assistance
  • Needs a developer actively driving; not built for unattended runs
  • Background and async agent mode is still early and limited
