How to Choose an AI Model

  1. Define your use case — coding, writing, analysis, vision, or chat.
  2. Check context window — larger contexts for long documents (Gemini 1M, Claude 200K).
  3. Compare pricing — sort by input/output cost to find the cheapest option.
  4. Consider open source — Llama 3 and Mistral are free to self-host.
  5. Test quality — the most expensive model isn't always the best for your task.
