it's nowhere near claude opus

but claude and claude code are different things

My take has been...

Gemini 3.1 (and Gemini 3) are a lot smarter than Claude Opus 4.6

But...

Gemini 3 series are both mediocre at best in agentic coding.

Single shot question(s) about a code problem vs "build this feature autonomously".

Gemini's CLI harness is just not very good and Gemini's approach to agentic coding leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't perform the double-checking that Codex does, it's slower than Claude, it runs off and does things without asking and not clearly explaining why.

(Claude Code now runs claude opus, so they're not so different.)

>it's [Gemini] nowhere near claude opus

Could you be a bit more specific, because your sibling reply says "pretty close to opus performance" so it would help if you gave additional information about how you use it and how you feel the two compare. Thanks.
