Benchmarking Gemini 3.1 Pro: Latency, cost, and reasoning trade-offs

Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro represents a meaningful step forward for developers building applications that require advanced reasoning. Announced in February 2026, the model promises smarter problem-solving without forcing users to pay more for the privilege. At PromptLayer, where teams manage prompts and evaluate model performance, we'

How do you observe LLM systems in production?

Deploying LLMs is only half the battle — once live, they can hallucinate, drain budgets, or slow down in ways standard monitoring never catches. LLM observability connects inputs, outputs, latency, cost, and quality into a single picture.

Is Opus smarter than Sonnet? Opus vs. Sonnet

The question of which AI model is "smarter" depends entirely on what you need that intelligence to do. At PromptLayer, we spend a lot of time watching how different models perform across real workflows. Both models come from Anthropic's Claude family, but they serve fundamentally different
