Key insight: No single AI model is best at everything. The most effective approach is to use the right model for each task. Many professionals keep accounts on two or three platforms and switch based on the job. As these models evolve rapidly, today’s rankings will shift — the skill is knowing how to evaluate, not memorising which is best right now.
