Theo Browne claimed on Oct. 17 that Gemini was 50% more expensive than it should be because its cache did not work, citing a 27% cache miss rate.
He described the test as a basic cache test simulating normal agentic work and said he used the same test for all three APIs.
Varun Mohan said “Not what we're seeing on our workloads” and asked what was being run. Philipp Schmid asked whether the test used the Gemini API, Vertex, OpenRouter or another provider.
