Quite a premium for speed. Especially when Gemini 3 Pro is 1.8x the tokens/sec speed (of regular-speed Opus 4.6) at 0.45x the price [2]. Though it's worse at coding, and Gemini CLI doesn't have the agentic strength of Claude Code, yet.

Gemini is pretty good for frontend tasks

You can use OpenCode instead of Gemini CLI.

6x price/token, so 15x price/second, and only at the API pricing level, not the far cheaper (per token) subscription pricing.
Definitely an interesting way to encourage whales to spend a lot of money quickly.
