I hooked up gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview last night to nullclaw, and it performed thousands of really tricky iterations, totally unattended, which would have taken me weeks to perform manually. A completely jailbroken nullclaw, together with gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview, are an absolutely wicked combination.
Gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview has become my most essential LLM API for agentic tasks. It's outrageously fast, smart, capable of writing great code, extremely knowledgeable for a flash/lite model, and ridiculously cheap to use compared to any other frontier model. The speed is mind blowing, and I spent $8.87 on OpenRouter for 73.9 million tokens in my most recent work, which accomplished a truly mind blowing amount of automated and interactive work. None of that work required Claude or Claude Code.
