I'm surprised there isn't a single mention of Gemini 1.5 Pro. I've been using it for about a month because it came for free with my Google setup and I've been pretty happy. Not for coding but mostly for business tasks like writing minutes from transcripts, summarizing long legal documents,... and the long context length has been awesome. It also conveniently integrates with the rest of my google setup like Drive.

IIRC it also ranked only behind gpt4o on benchmarks.

Gemini in general is terrible. Way too many mistakes. If you use it via the API it repeats itself constantly. At least it's the model that is the easiest to jailbreak and will happiliy give you a tutorial on how to make a bomb if you ask politely ;) Very ironic considering how Google emphasizes "safety".

I've also had good results with Gemini 1.5 Pro for some tasks. Just yesterday, it produced very good analysis and comments based on a 200-page document. ChatGPT 4o was much weaker, and the document was too large for Claude 3 Opus. (This was a few hours before 3.5 was released.)
