I found gemini-exp-1206 to better than o1 at math

Got stuck on a math problem, asked o1 for help until my weekly quota ran out. Switched to gemini-exp-1206, and it one-shot the solution. Happened twice this week.

I was trying to solve a linear algebra problem from Axler’s LADR. This is the specific problem.

Gemini provided an elegant concise solution while o1 was saying this is a well known result and was not even attempting to solve.
