Gemini, for whatever reason, has consistently been the best for explaining scientific concepts for me.

Especially with the recent addition of graphic visualization widgets

It manages to strike the perfect balance between depth and style of prose that other Frontier models just can't quite seem to match

This is the only use case I've found it superior to ChatGPT or Claude for - helping me understand higher level math. It's slightly easier to understand than the other models

Gemini is the best at convincing you that you understand scientific concepts. Unless you have applied that knowledge in other contexts and been given feedback that your understanding is correct you have no idea whether it is good at actually explaining them.
