AI model comparisons for business

Claude vs the rest, compared honestly

I will let you in on a consultant secret: model choice matters less than implementation. A well-built workflow on the second-best model beats a vague prompt into the best one, every time. But the choice still matters, especially for privacy defaults, long-document accuracy and cost at scale. These comparisons are the advice I give paying clients, including the places where Claude is not the right answer.

Capability is only half the decision. The other half is what each model costs at your volumes.
