One Million Tokens: Why It Matters

Google continues to bet on long context. Gemini 3.1 Pro retains its record-setting window of 1 million tokens — roughly 700,000 words, or several full-length books.

For practical purposes, this means:

  • Loading an entire codebase of a medium-sized project in a single request
  • Analyzing annual financial reports without losing context
  • Working with long conversation histories and documentation
  • Processing multi-hour transcriptions of meetings and calls

ARC-AGI-2: Testing Abstract Reasoning

The ARC-AGI-2 benchmark tests a model’s ability to perform abstract reasoning — tasks that a child can easily solve but that stump most AI systems.

Gemini 3.1 Pro scored 77% on ARC-AGI-2, one of the best results among commercial models:

Model ARC-AGI-2
Claude Sonnet 4.6 79.2%
Gemini 3.1 Pro 77.0%
GPT-5.3 74.5%
DeepSeek V3 71.3%

Market Share Is Growing

According to analysts, Google’s share of the LLM API market has grown from 12% to 18% over the last six months. Key reasons:

Pricing

Google offers some of the most competitive prices:

  • Input: $3.50 / 1M tokens
  • Output: $10.50 / 1M tokens
  • For context >128K: $7 / $21 per million

Google Cloud Ecosystem

Integration with Vertex AI, BigQuery, and other Google Cloud services makes Gemini attractive to enterprise clients already using Google’s cloud infrastructure.

Multimodality

Gemini 3.1 Pro natively supports:

  • Text, images, audio, and video
  • Code generation and analysis
  • Working with tables and structured data

What This Means for Traders

The 1M token long context opens up interesting possibilities:

  1. Loading entire trade histories over extended periods for pattern analysis
  2. Simultaneously analyzing multiple company financial reports
  3. Processing a full day’s news feed without missing important details

That said, the quality of working with information at the beginning and end of a long context may differ — the so-called “lost in the middle” problem.

Google is firmly securing its place among the top three AI market leaders, and Gemini 3.1 Pro is a strong argument in this race.
