Selecting an AI model depends on the complexity of the task. Here are some tips:

  • Simple Tasks: For basic text generation, use a lightweight model.
    • Examples: GPT-4o Mini, GPT-3.5 Turbo, Gemini 1.5 Flash, Claude 3 Haiku
  • Complex Tasks: Choose a more advanced model for more advanced text analysis or generation.
    • Examples: GPT-4o, GPT-4, Gemini 1.5 Pro or higher, Claude 3 Opus
  • Testing: Start with a low-cost, lightweight model. Refine your prompt to get the best results. If results are unsatisfactory, switch to a more advanced model.
  • Recent Data: If you need recent data, select models with online access (perplexity/llama-3-sonar-small-32k-online, perplexity/llama-3-sonar-large-32k-online) or any model with recent knowledge base updates.
