Pairwise benchmark snapshot · Aug 17, 2026noindex (thin pair)
This page compares Google: Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools (Google) and Kimi K3 (Moonshot) using the latest snapshots we have as of Aug 17, 2026. Google: Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools wins on output price at $12/1M. Google: Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools has the larger context window (1M tokens). Every cell below is a dated snapshot from a named public source — we do not invent missing scores, and we do not run SWE-bench ourselves.

Moonshot
Kimi K3Moonshot AI frontier flagship reasoning and agent swarm model with 256k context and top-tier SWE-bench coding capability.
thinking_modeReasoning models scale test-time compute by generating hidden chain-of-thought (CoT) tokens. These tokens are billed at standard output rates and directly expand latency (TTFT) in exchange for higher GPQA Diamond and SWE-bench Verified problem resolve rates.
Kimi Swarm reasoning trace for long-context planning.
