The New, Smartest AI: Claude 3 – Tested vs Gemini 1.5 + GPT-4

17 minutesBeginnerPractitionerAI ExplainedChatGPT & LLMs

AI Explained. Older than the article (March 2024), but the methodology is what's useful: a single careful reviewer running the same hard tasks — OCR, theory of mind, instruction following, math — through three frontier models side by side and showing exactly where each one cracks. The model names are dated, the framework for comparing models is not.

AI Expert note

Treat this as a testing-method video, not a current ranking. The concrete winners are historical; the useful part is running the same examples, checking failure modes and resisting vague "best model" claims.

What you should get from this

See a structured comparison method you can reuse when deciding which model is good enough for a task.

Watch or know first

Know that Claude 3, Gemini 1.5 and GPT-4 are no longer the frontier baseline.
