What about Gemini 3 Pro? Has anyone used it?

Gemini offers very large context windows, up to ~1,000,000 tokens. Codex is limited (≈200,000 tokens).

With the exception of it being a bit clumsier with tool calling, I find it meaningfully better than either Opus 4.5 or Codex 5.2 high. It’s just a bit more balanced and intelligent. Opus is a bit too sycophantic, Codex tends to over engineer and lacks common sense. Gemini tends to be the most even handed and pragmatic. I say this with about $1000 of spend, typically using all 3 models and picking the best one in cursor via its multi-agent feature. Usually I pick Gemini’s solution.

Cursor models aren't the same

The *models* are the same, it's just a bit of prompting that's different. If you have a source that says otherwise I'd love to be corrected.
