Gemini 3 blows GPT 5.1 out of the water. Beats it on quality and price.

Not in my experience (I use them every day). GPT 5.1 (now 5.2) is absolutely much more accurate for coding tasks. I think that 5.1. might even be better than gemini 3.

For PDF parsing and understanding, it's only anecdotal as it happened to me only once but Gemini was more accurate, that one time (a scientific paper).

Claude, when I was still subscribed to it, was in between gemini and GPT for code tasks. But the UI was too buggy and it was a bit too limited with their capacity threshold.

Sota is 5.2 pro or 5.2 codex or 5.2 extra high not 5.1 (I know I know it's confusing)

Not least of all because I misread that as Sora at first, lol

And speed.

Possibly controversial take, but IMO Gemini 3 Flash is better than Pro for coding

What are you smoking? Gemini and Claude beat chatgpt at every metric.

The metrics being the benchmarks? Perhaps but apparently these are being gamed. Which makes sense. It's the natural tendency of people.

But in my daily usage? It's a fully different story.

They don’t. GPT 5.2 and its variants are the best models right now.
