Why Claude Opus 4.6 works way better than Gemini 3.1 Pro High?

[John_Christian_Lonni]

Yep Gemini Pro 3.1 seems to just talk with itself endlessly about what tools to use and not for every iteration it does, often many times during the same query. It is using way too much energy on this and hence is extremely slow to actually do anything as well. I hardly use it for anything serious. I save up for Claude Opus for the more major jobs and just use Gemini Flash for simpler well defined things as that is actually very fast and seems to do the job well enough.
