There are a lot of AI tools out there.
ChatGPT.
Gemini.
Claude.
Perplexity.
LLaMA.
Qwen.
Mistral.
And more.
They are not the same.
They are different tools for different jobs.
Here’s the simple breakdown:
ChatGPT- Great all-rounder.
Content, systems, prompts, teaching.
Gemini- Strong with images, video, and Google search integration.
Claude - Deep reasoning. Long documents. Thoughtful tone.
Perplexity-Fast research. Citations. Source links.
LLaMA (Meta)- Open model. Customisable.
More technical setup required.
Qwen -Strong multilingual model.

Mistral and other open models

Simple rule:
You don’t need all of them.
You need the right one for the job.
