I am a programmer and designer planning on using these 200, and 250 dollars per month subscriptions

Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, after 36 hours of use, I determine that the OpenAI Pro subscription is better than the Gemini Ultra subscription for my programming and design needs. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No."

Background

OpenAI Pro Subscription: Priced at $200 per month, this plan offers unlimited access to OpenAI's most advanced models.

Gemini Ultra Subscription: This plan includes advanced AI features and integration with Google services.

Considerations

• Feature Comparison: Evaluate the specific features and capabilities of each subscription to determine which aligns better with my programming and design requirements.

• Specific video generation needs

• Integration and Usability: Assess how well each subscription integrates with my existing tools and workflows, and their ease of use in daily tasks.

To get more specific I basically just use deep research, o3, sora, and operator. So I will compare these features on some broad challenging daily tasks like: create a plan for my research, help me unstuck an emotional problem, generate a video meme for my brother or for a specific groupchat, and most importantly help me draft some funny tweets.

For text queries wherever possible I will query the models through a blind api in blind ordering (link). Where this isn’t possible I will ask for a second opinion, where that person doesn’t know which model did what.

• Update 2025-05-22 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The determination of which subscription is better will be based on raw usefulness. The difference in subscription cost will not be a factor in this determination.

• Update 2025-05-22 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Claude Opus 4 will not be evaluated as part of this comparison.
