2.5 is my “okay Claude can’t get it” but first I check my “bank account” to see if I can afford it.

Isn’t 2.5 pro significantly cheaper?

They're the same price, and Gemini has a large free tier.

Not when you’re doing 500k tokens per query.

Gemini 2.5 Pro has solved problems that Claude 3.7 cannot, so I use it for the hard stuff.

But Gemini is at least as overactive as Claude, sometimes even more overactive when it comes to something like comment spam.

Of course, this can be fixed with prompting. And sometimes it feels sheepish complaining about the machine god doing most of my chore work that didn't even exist a couple years ago.
