Google's flagship with the industry's largest context window — 2M tokens — and frontier multimodal reasoning at $2/$12.
The verdict
These two models don't yet share verified results on the benchmarks we track, so judge them on specs, pricing and intended use. Command A is about 1.0x cheaper per blended million tokens (3:1 input:output mix). Gemini 3.1 Pro also takes 2M of context versus 262K for Command A. And Command A is open-weights (CC-BY-NC 4.0), so it can be self-hosted — a structural advantage if data control or vendor independence matters.
