Verdict

When to choose each

Gemini 3.7 Flash

Where it leads

  • Accepts audio input

Best for

  • Production coding and agent workflows that need multimodal context

Watch out for

  • Google publishes the introductory API price through 2026-12-31; standard input and output prices increase on 2027-01-01.
  • Not in the pinned LiveBench snapshot; its independent scores here come from Epoch AI's own GPQA Diamond, FrontierMath and SimpleQA Verified runs

Glimpse

Where it leads

  • Lower input and output prices, $0.60 and $3 vs $0.75 and $3.75 per 1M tokens

Best for

  • Visual question answering over charts, scenes and short videos
  • Counting and captioning at a lower price than frontier multimodal models

Watch out for

  • In Elorian's own table GPT-6 Astra scores higher on six of the twelve evaluations, including TOMATO temporal reasoning and Video-MME v2
  • Post-trained on an open-weights base model Elorian does not name; it publishes no context window or output limit, and no independent benchmark score is recorded here yet
