Discover a Free Alternative to ChatGPT Pro: Gemini-Exp-1206

If you’re a fan of using ChatGPT for coding tasks and considering whether to upgrade to ChatGPT Pro, you might want to think again. Google recently introduced a powerful model called Gemini-Exp-1206, which I believe outperforms the previous o1 (which was my go-to before it was discontinued). You can check out this model at AI Studio.

Although I am a paying subscriber of GPT Plus and utilize its Advanced Voice model with camera capabilities, along with the o1 model for specific tasks, I find the combination of these tools with Gemini-Exp-1206 to be more than sufficient for my needs.

An interesting discovery I’ve made is that when setting the temperature to 0 in Gemini-Exp-1206, the responses for coding inquiries are notably better. This could potentially save you from the additional investment in ChatGPT Pro while still providing high-quality assistance for your programming projects.

In summary, if you’re looking for an effective and cost-efficient alternative, Gemini-Exp-1206 is definitely worth exploring. Happy coding!
