you deserve opinions shaped by interactions with the best tools that are out there.

Gemini feels deep and philosophical. Especially for product management. Tell him you're a product manager and we're a team of two.

But regular reminder - All LLMs can be wrong all the time. I only work with LLMs in domains I'm expert in OR I have other sources to verify their output with utmost certainty.

Agreed, Gemini is clearly a capable model, but the tool use is lagging behind the other two. Ironically it regularly gets things wrong (ie. the current version of some software) because of an unwillingness to use web search.

Gemini is certainly not behind Claude in terms of physics.

ChatGPT and Gemini are actually fairly comparable.

Claude has been utterly useless with most math problems in my experience because, much like less capable students, it tends to get overly bogged down in tedious details before it gets to the big picture. That's great for programming, not so much for frontier math. If you're giving it little lemmas, then sure it's great, but otherwise you're just burning tokens.

Seriously, it’s not worth reaching for less intelligence. Use Extended Pro 100% of the time for things you’d spend the amount of time GP spent writing their post.
