| Tagline | Anthropic's flagship — best reasoning + longest useful context. | The one that actually gets text in images right. | Cognition Labs' autonomous coding engineer. | AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
