Education

Always explain your ranking in the specific context of the user's process

inputs

- Lightweight/chat-only models (older 7B–13B models

mini variants) — usually lack depth/context/tool reliability

- Mistral Large 2 / Devstral — Very strong price/performance

fast

Data

- Llama 4 / Llama 405B variants (Meta) — Best open-source frontier performance

excellent for self-hosting

- Claude 4 Opus/Sonnet (Anthropic) — Exceptional long-form reasoning

writing quality

- Gemini 2.5 Pro / Flash (Google) — Outstanding multimodal (especially video/document understanding)

very large context windows

- Tool use

function calling

If AI is viable

recommend which AI engines are best suited and why.

- Privacy

open behavior

Data
