👨‍🏫 Tutorial Here's My Guide to the AI Best Models Right Now

[PHC - Loko]

Using AI Daily? So Many Choices, Right? Which Ones Are Worth It?

Here's my list, looking at cost, speed, and how smart they are:

S Tier (The Best Choices):

• Gemini 2.5 Pro: Very powerful and my usual choice.
• Gemini 2.0 Flash: Fantastic value! Super-fast and surprisingly smart.
• GPT-o1 Mini: Very good at thinking for its price. Strong and affordable.
• Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Great for coding, especially UI stuff. Follows instructions well. But warning: it's expensive!
• DeepSeek V3 (Original): Was a big deal before. Great performance for a low cost.

A Tier (Excellent):

• GPT-o1: Introduced strong 'thinking' ability, but it costs a lot.
• DeepSeek R1: Brought good thinking to open source. Smart, but often slow depending on where it's hosted.
• Claude 3.7 Reasoning: Smart and tells you how it thinks, which is nice. Sometimes unpredictable though.

B Tier (Good):

• GPT-4o Mini: Used to be a good mix of value and speed. But others are better now.
• Claude 3.7 Standard: It's okay, but I find 3.5 more reliable for the same price.
• Gemini Flash Light: Super cheap, but the lower quality isn't worth the small savings compared to the regular Flash.

C Tier (Okay):

• GPT-4o: A decent all-around model but feels expensive now compared to others.
• Qwen 2.5: Pretty average. Only really fast if you use it on special Groq hardware.
• Llama 3.1 70B: Similar to Qwen. Needs Groq hardware to be really fast, otherwise just average.

D Tier (Disappointing):

• GPT-4.5 Turbo: Very expensive, and honestly, I don't think it's that great for coding or general stuff for what you pay.
• GPT-o1 Pro: Can handle very hard problems that others can't. But the cost is super high, and it's not easy to use.

F Tier (Problematic):

• Qwen-Q: I found this one really hard to get good results from. Very unreliable.
• Grok 3: Can't really test it properly.
