Three frontier model providers head-to-head — pick the one whose model family and pricing model fits the workload you're actually shipping.
Pick Anthropic when complex-instruction-following, agentic workflows, and long-context reasoning dominate the workload. Pick OpenAI when ecosystem breadth — SDK maturity, structured outputs, image generation, and the deepest tools surface — matters more than any single benchmark. Pick Gemini when native multimodality across audio and video, or tight Google Workspace and Cloud integration, drives the call.
