OpenAI's strongest general model. Deep reasoning, long context and reliable instruction-following for complex, multi-step work.
Exceptional at long-form writing, nuanced analysis and agentic coding. The one to reach for when tone and judgement matter.
Handles text, images and video in one prompt, with a very large context window for working across whole documents at once.
Google's latest fast model with multimodal input support for images, video and audio, plus adjustable reasoning depth.
Strong reasoning at a fraction of the cost. A sensible default for high-volume tasks where speed matters more than nuance.
Particularly strong across Chinese and other Asian languages, with solid coding and tool-use capability.
Built for very long documents. Feed it a whole report or codebase and ask questions across all of it.
The strongest all-rounder for photoreal images. Holds character and style consistent across a whole set of generations.
Mark a point, sketch a region, or blend up to ten reference images. The precision tool for editing rather than pure generation.
The one that actually spells things correctly. Best choice when your image needs legible text — posters, mockups, packaging.
Much quicker and cheaper than Pro, with grouped output and web search. Good for exploring directions in bulk before refining.
Near-instant generations at lower fidelity. Use it to sketch out composition ideas, then re-run the winner on a stronger model.
The previous generation, kept available so older projects keep reproducing exactly as they did before.
The most cinematic of the bunch. Understands camera language and keeps physics and continuity believable across a shot.
Excellent at bringing a still image to life with natural motion. The go-to for animating product shots and portraits.
Quick image-to-video conversion at a low cost. Ideal for turning a batch of stills into short social clips.
Voice, music and sound effects — narration, songs and foley from a text prompt.
Generates full songs with vocals from a description or your own lyrics. Handles a wide range of genres convincingly.
Natural, expressive narration with fine control over pace and emotion. The pick for voiceovers and audiobooks.
Very fast speech generation across many languages. Best when you need a lot of audio quickly rather than perfect delivery.
Generates sound effects and ambience from a description, or scores audio to match an existing video clip.
The honest version — every model here is good at something, and none is best at everything.
