It’s the best platform for serious work.

ChatGPT swings between writing degenerate free use shit and telling you that you should wait until marriage. Lots of moralism to it, really tries to censor you and manipulate you, even in normal conversations. Generally smart and capable, but the whiny attitude gets old.

Grok has zero filter, but is dumber than the others. Definitely built around cheapness. Caps answers at about 2500 words at most. Can be very funny because it will go along with anything.

Gemini sells all your data and doesn’t seem to have much of note. Offers some nice formatting options.

Claude is business focused so it won’t do anything degenerate, but its answers in general aren’t whiny. It might not do something, but it doesn’t attack you with morality.

Claude does not cap answer length and will do whatever needs doing. Their pricing is based around true usage, not message quantities, so it’ll write a mega message if it needs to.

It has the best memory implementation, combining both memories and RAG of your chat history. Projects have their own independent memories and RAG.

Claude code is ridiculously capable. In a few hours I produced something which would have taken months and £50,000 at least to produce.

Thanks, I'll try more of Claude. Back in the day when I first tried it out I easily burned through message limits every day. I've been mulling over paying for Claude Code but I just keep using the free tier of Antigravity and some from my Pro plan.

I happen to have a Gemini Pro subscription that I got through my network provider in India, but i use it only for coding and Nano Banana slop. And occasionally live audio/video chat from my mobile which is actually the best use case I've seen so far although it gets old pretty fast and isn't great beyond basic tasks.
