Every AI Model Explained

Tina Huang. A calm 19-minute map of the major model families — OpenAI's GPT line, Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini, plus the open-source players — and which tier inside each family is worth your time. After the article tells you "pick one and stick with it for a month," this video tells you what the dropdown menu inside that one is actually offering. Honestly opinionated without being a hot take.

AI Expert note

Model names, rankings and default choices are especially unstable. Keep the beginner rule: choose a mainstream product that fits the job, then evaluate outputs on your own examples instead of trusting leaderboard claims.

What you should get from this

Understand the product and model-family landscape well enough to choose one starting tool and stop endlessly comparing tabs.

Watch or know first

Basic awareness that a chatbot product and the model selected inside it are different decisions.
