Cost-floor workloads that still need a large context window

Trae's built-in model menu may not include Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite — Trae primarily ships with Claude/GPT/Gemini/DeepSeek.
Kiro's spec mode is tuned for Claude models — Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite may work but spec-driven flows are best with Claude.
Cursor's built-in model menu may not include Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite — verify it's available in your Cursor model picker.
OpenAI Codex (VS Code) is tied to OpenAI's hosted GPT-5 and Codex models — Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite is not selectable inside this integration.
Claude Code only works with Claude models — your LLM is Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.
