In my experience Gemini 3.0 pro is noticeably better than chatgpt 5.2 for non-coding tasks. The latter gives me blatantly wrong information all the time, the former very rarely.
I agree and it has been my almost exclusive go to ever since Gemini 3 Pro came out in November.
In my opinion Google isn't as far behind in coding as comments here would suggest. With Fast, it might already have edited 5 files before Claude Sonnet finished processing your prompt.
There is a lot of potential here, and with Antigravity as well as Gemini CLI - I did not test that one - they are working on capitalizing on it.
Strange that you say that because the general consensus (and my experience) seems to be the opposite, as well as the AA-Omniscience Hallucination Rate Benchmark which puts 3.0 Pro among the higher hallucinating models. 3.1 seems to be a noticeable improvement though.
Google actually has the BEST ratings in the AA-Omniscience Index:
AA-Omniscience Index (higher is better) measures knowledge reliability and hallucination. It rewards correct answers, penalizes hallucinations, and has no penalty for refusing to answer.
Gemini 3.1 is the top spot, followed by 3.0 and then opus 4.6 max
Yes and no. The hallucination rate shown there is the percentage of time the model answers incorrectly when it should have instead admitted to not knowing the answer. Most models score very poorly on this, with a few exceptions, because they nearly always try to answer. It's true that 3.0 is no better than others on this. By given that it does know the correct answers much more often than eg. GPT 5.2, it does in fact give hallucinated answers much less often.
In short, its hallucination rate as a percentage of unknown answers is no better than most models, but its hallucination rate as a percentage of total answers in indeed better.

As sibling comment says, AA-Omniscience Hallucination Rate Benchmark puts Gemini 3.0 as the best performing aside from Gemini 3.1 preview.
I can only speak to my own experience, but for the past couple of months I've been duplicating prompts across both for high value tasks, and that has been my consistent finding.
