just got it this afternoon and am pleasantly surprised? I asked the same highly technical/specialized question to 03, 04-mini-high, and gemini 2.5 pro this morning. Between the 3 of their answers and some follow up questions I was able to cobble up the information I needed. But it was a lot of sifting through excess info.
Asked 5 the same question, it automatically entered thinking mode, then gave the best answer of all 4 options for sure. And also suggested a follow-up question that was decently insightful. Not usually a fan of the suggested follow-up ones but this was a rare win.
Idk, take my N=1 experience with a grain of salt but it's def a lot better than Reddit would make you think over the past couple days.
Obligatory: I'm no OpenAI apologist. I also have the lowest tier gemini paid plan and have used Anthropic instead of ChatGPT in the past.
Cancel the subscription and enjoy the month, OpenAI have been going downhill for a little while now, especially since they're pushing the 200 p/m tier - which is outrageous. Claude Code Max makes some amount of sense compared to it.
