I wonder if this is because it's a larger model or maybe just because they can? Although with the latest Deepseek it's really tough to compete pricing wise. Inference speed and integration (e.g. Antigravity) might be their only hope here

It has to be a larger model, wouldn't make much sense otherwise. That isn't to say the price isn't artificially increased as well

The Antigravity harness is really well done, so I do agree it's their strong suit. Can't say the same about gemini-cli (though it has a really nice interface)

Would still choose Deepseek for the price
