First-hand experiences from people using these models for real work. No account required.
The first model I trust to carry a refactor across a whole repository without losing the architectural thread. Pricey, but it saves real engineering time.
Best synthesis I’ve used this month. Citations still need checking, but the structure and nuance are consistently strong.
Switched from GPT-5.2 for long documents. Noticeably more natural voice, though it can over-explain simple requests.
Fast and capable, but I still reach for Claude when the task needs careful judgment.
Gemini has become my research default. Source handling is meaningfully better than six months ago.
The open model ecosystem is catching up quickly. Qwen is outstanding value for internal tooling.
