Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths

  • Strong on abstract, unfamiliar problems rather than remembered ones
  • Terse and direct by default — it answers instead of performing
  • Deep Think mode for the rare problem worth minutes of compute

Weaknesses

  • The terseness reads as cold and needs explicit prompting to open up
  • Old prompt-engineering habits — elaborate personas, hand-written chain-of-thought — make it worse, not better
  • Deep Think sits behind the top consumer tier rather than the API

SWE-Bench Pro (public) 43.3% is Google's own figure (cited in the Gemini 3.1 Pro model card's comparison column) and matches Scale's public leaderboard entry for gemini-3-pro-preview (43.30%). Terminal-Bench 2.1 73.9% (±1.3) is the Terminus 2 harness entry dated 2025-11-18 on the tbench.ai leaderboard as mirrored by Snorkel AI — third-party; the Gemini CLI entry scores 65.8%.
