Frontier AI benchmark shows Google matching rivals at under 1/3 the cost per task

A tweet quoting Sundar Pichai cites per-task costs on a claimed frontier AI benchmark: OpenAI (GPT-6 Astra) at $53.99, Anthropic (Claude Opus 5.5) at $51.41, versus Google (Gemini 4 Carbon) at just $16.29 — arguing Google matches performance at less than a third of the cost. The author uses this to justify buying the GOOGL dip three times. Note the model names are unofficial and the figures are unverified.
