You know what. When Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview came out it was better than Opus at the time. It was my main model for 3 weeks.

Until it got lobotomised. Then it lost most of it's capability.

Similar situation happened to Anthropic's Fable. It was an amazing model until Opus 5.5 came out.

So now, I'm not even looking at a "new" model until it is a month or two old. By then we will know if they will destroy ability to make it cheaper to host.
