I don't know if it's me, but over the last few weeks I've got to the conclusion ChatGPT is very strongly leading the race. Every answer it gives me is better - it's more concise and more informative.
I look forward to testing this further, but out of the few runs I just did after reading about this - it isn't looking much better
edit: I run low profile service that localizing e-commerce photos, like taking Alibaba listings and swapping the model to look local alike, with nano banana I can’t automate it because I have to manually check if the output got blocked (anything with female skin is risky, underwear or cleavage is 100% blocked), but Qwen-Edit just does the job without fuss
Me too.
I find ChatGPT is the best analyzer of complex situations but Claude does a better job of writing the code, so u get ChatGPT to design things and solve problems then I give that to Claude/Gemini to implement.
Gemini is good at both.
I was a huge claude fan but recently find myself using only codex. When it gets stuck, I try Claude for some simple tasks, sometimes ask same questions in parallel, Claude Code with Opus performs really bad comparing to codex.
In my experience, Grok is very fast and very cheap, but only moderately intelligent. It isn't stupid, but it rarely does anything that impresses me. The reason it's a useful model is that it is very, very fast (~90 tokens per second) and is very competitively priced.
