Routing Verdict & Tradeoffs

Ethen Routing Verdict

Frontier research / complex reasoning

Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview scores 46 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, placing it well above average among other reasoning models in a similar price tier (median: 28). Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview generates output at 151.6 tokens per second (based on Google's API), which is well above average compared to other reasoning models in a similar price tier (median: 81.2 t/s). Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview costs $2.00 per 1M input tokens (somewhat higher than average, median: $1.50) and $12.00 per 1M output tokens (somewhat higher than average, median: $8.40), based on Google's API.

Reserve this model for the hardest requests; simpler or repetitive work should stay on cheaper routes.

Task Fit Assessment

WorkloadRatingNotes
Complex reasoning & agentic workflowsoptimalIntelligence score 46 places this model among top performers. Suitable for multi-step analysis and agentic loops.
High-volume chat & customer-facingoptimalOutput speed 151.6 tokens/sec and capable intelligence make this suitable for real-time chat at scale.
Latency-sensitive applicationsviableTTFT 27.42s — latency may be noticeable in interactive use.
Cost-sensitive pipelinesviableOutput pricing at $12.00 is premium. Route high-volume simple tasks to cheaper alternatives.

Cost Pressure Analysis

High

Pricing is premium — input $2.00, output $12.00. This model is expensive for high-volume or output-heavy workloads.

Cheaper substitutes: Lower-cost models for repetitive or high-volume work, Cache-backed reuse for repeated prompts

AA-Omniscience Index

AA-Omniscience Index (higher is better) measures knowledge reliability and hallucination. It rewards correct answers, penalizes hallucinations, and has no penalty for refusing to answer. Scores range from -100 to 100, where 0 means as many correct as incorrect answers, and negative scores mean more incorrect than correct. · Evaluation results measured independently by Artificial Analysis
