Welcome, humans.

OpenAI’s exec team (including Sam) did a Reddit AMA that’s worth a skim. Some highlights: the company is working on a new DALL-E update which Altman said “will be worth the wait”, and AI agents that can perform tasks autonomously and message users first will be “a big theme in 2025.”

ALSO: Camera mode for ChatGPT is in development, o1 may soon be able to see images and sing, and they're planning to implement hands-free way to end voice conversations. And then there was this little nugget…

Here’s what you need to know about AI today:

  • We break down the best AI for major tasks (and why).
  • T-Mobile invested $100M in OpenAI's customer service AI.
  • Apple enabled ChatGPT Plus upgrades in iOS settings.
  • OpenAI hired Meta's AR / VR hardware leader.

The Best AI models for every business task (yes, we did the research)

Nobody in AI wanted to launch anything new yesterday (why not, was something going on?), so we figured it would be a good time to do a recap on all the top AI models and which one is best for which use case.

We dug into the latest benchmark data, pricing, and real-world performance metrics to create the definitive guide to choosing the right model for your needs. Let's break down which models excel at what:

For Coding & Development: Claude 3.5 Sonnet (new)

  • Consistently outperforms GPT-4o in real-world coding tasks.
  • Better at understanding complex codebases.
  • More reliable at generating working code.
  • Costs less for similar tasks.

For Data Analysis & Processing: Gemini 1.5 Pro

  • 2M token context window (largest available).
  • Superior at handling large datasets.
  • Built-in data visualization capabilities.
  • Strong integration with Google's ecosystem.

For Content Creation: Claude 3.5 Sonnet (new)

  • Best-in-class creative writing capabilities.
  • More consistent tone and style.
  • Better understanding of context.
  • Lower hallucination rate.

For Visual Tasks: GPT-4o

  • Most accurate image analysis.
  • Better at complex visual reasoning.
  • Strong multimodal capabilities.
  • More reliable at following visual instructions.

The Budget-Friendly Options:

If you're watching costs (who isn't?), here are the best value picks.

Speed Champions

Need blazing fast responses? These models lead in performance:

  1. Llama 3.2 1B: 555 tokens/second.
  2. Gemini 1.5 Flash: 311 tokens/second.
  3. GPT-4 Turbo: 125 tokens/second.

And as you know, o1-mini and o1 preview are best for complicated reasoning tasks (in that order), like solving tough math problems. While o1-preview tops most benchmarks, its high cost means it's overkill for many business tasks.

For most companies and business needs, a mix of models will provide the best balance of performance and cost—use specialized models for specific tasks rather than trying to find one model to rule them all.

For example: We use Sonnet to help write (it’s hands down the best), and bounce between Perplexity and ChatGPT Search for search tasks. For projects involving lots of context, we use Claude Projects, but are seriously considering trying Gemini for them soon. If you want to get real fancy, you could take your first draft from Claude to ChatGPT Canvas and edit there.
