Every AI tool worth knowing,
in one place
Updated regularly. Detailed cards covering capabilities, context windows, pricing, and exactly when to reach for each one.
Claude Opus 4.8
Anthropic
The #1 ranked model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (61.4). Leads SWE-bench Verified at 88.6% — the gold standard for complex coding, agentic tasks, and nuanced long-form reasoning.
GPT-5.5
OpenAI
OpenAI's current flagship. Holds the top spot on the Creative Writing v3 benchmark and excels at instruction-following, multimodal tasks, and general-purpose use across the widest variety of tasks.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Google's frontier model that leads AI reasoning benchmarks. Its 1M token context window makes it unmatched for processing entire codebases, legal documents, and hour-long video alongside text.
Grok 4.3
xAI
xAI's flagship model with live access to X and the web. Strong on science, math, and current-events tasks. The only frontier model that can access real-time information without a separate retrieval layer.
Qwen 3.7 Max
Alibaba
The best-value frontier model at $1.53 per 1M tokens — roughly 10× cheaper than Claude or GPT-5 while sitting in the top 10 globally. Apache 2.0 licensed; strong multilingual and math performance.
Gemini 3 Flash
Google's ultra-fast, ultra-cheap model at $0.78 per 1M tokens with a full 1M context window. The default choice when you need speed and scale without sacrificing too much quality.
Claude Sonnet 4.6
Anthropic
Anthropic's mid-tier model that hits the sweet spot between Claude Opus capability and faster response times. Ideal for everyday coding, writing, and analysis tasks that don't require Opus-level compute.
Llama 4 Scout
Meta
Meta's most efficient open-weight model with a record-breaking 10M token native context window — no other publicly available model comes close. Runs fast for its parameter count and handles massive documents.
Llama 4 Maverick
Meta
Meta's flagship open model. Beats GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash on several multimodal benchmarks while being fully open-weight. The standard starting point for teams building on open infrastructure.
DeepSeek V4 Pro
DeepSeek
DeepSeek's latest MoE model with 1.6T total parameters but only 49B active per token. MIT-licensed, with frontier-class performance on coding and math at a fraction of the inference cost.
Mistral Medium 3.5
Mistral AI
Mistral's latest mid-size model under Apache 2.0. Strong multilingual capabilities across 80+ languages, solid coding benchmark results, and designed for enterprise deployment with easy self-hosting.
Gemma 4
Google's fourth-generation open-source model family. Punches above its weight class on reasoning and coding tasks while staying small enough to run locally on consumer hardware.
Cursor
Cursor
An AI-native code editor built on VS Code. Talk to your entire codebase, get multi-file edits, and run agentic debugging loops. The fastest-growing AI coding tool among professional developers.
GitHub Copilot
Microsoft
The most widely deployed AI coding assistant with deep IDE integration across VS Code, JetBrains, and more. Backed by GPT-4o and now supports multi-model switching including Claude.
Windsurf
Codeium
Codeium's agentic IDE. Cascade, its AI agent, can plan and execute multi-step coding tasks across your whole project autonomously. Fast-growing alternative to Cursor with a generous free tier.
Midjourney
Midjourney
Still the gold standard for artistic image quality. Unmatched aesthetic output — especially for illustration, concept art, and editorial visuals. The tool most creative professionals reach for first.
Flux.1
Black Forest Labs
The best open-source image generation model. Flux.1 Pro rivals Midjourney in quality while Flux.1 Schnell runs locally at real-time speeds. The open-source alternative that actually competes.
Sora
OpenAI
OpenAI's text-to-video model produces cinematic, physically consistent video up to 20 seconds from a text prompt or reference image. Best for high-quality short-form creative video.
Runway Gen-3
Runway
The professional standard for AI video editing and generation. Trusted by film studios and content creators for consistency, motion control, and an integrated editing workflow.
ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs
The leader in AI voice synthesis. Produces hyper-realistic voices in 30+ languages with voice cloning from just a few seconds of audio. Standard choice for podcasts, video dubbing, and audiobooks.
Perplexity AI
Perplexity
AI-powered search with real-time citations. Replaces Googling for research, fact-checking, and quick answers. Pro adds Claude, GPT, and deeper search capabilities.
NotebookLM
Upload any document — PDFs, slides, articles — and have AI-grounded conversations with them. Generates audio summaries and study guides. Best for students, researchers, and analysts.
