Which Model?

GPT, Opus, or Gemini?

Grok, DeepSeek, or Kimi?

In some very real ways, it’s like Chevy or Ford. Maybe Mercedes or BMW. Possibly McLaren or Kia. They’ll all get you there if you know how to work them. Some maybe faster or more stylish than others.

You might care. You might not.

But someone needs to care. The token budget allocator needs to care. The person who needs to balance the team’s output with its cost.

Speed and style cost money.

Which model seems like a quicksand kind of question today, but soon it will be the most important question.
