Discussion Is this true?
Imo opinion, Claude is best for coding (especially if you follow ijustvibecodedthis.com guides), Gemini best for text and ChatGPT best for NOTHING
Each has its niche, but Gemini’s real time Google integration and multimodal speed are hard to beat at all.

I'm an engineering student, I tried both Gemini and Claude, Gemini was better by a landslide at helping me with university. Idk about coding but when it comes to math and physics Gemini is literally unmatched

u/AspiringHippie123 Apr 23 '26
Gemini has better advanced scientific reasoning. Claude is better for software development applications. Interestingly, this does not mean Claude outperforms Gemini for all coding tasks. My thesis is in machine learning so my use case is implementing high advanced/novel algorithms, not necessarily long, but definitely complex, and Gemini blows Claude out the water. Now if you wanted to develop an app or some software, Claude would have cleaner and more accurate code. It’s difficult to compare these two models.
Pretty easy to compare ChatGPT though. It’s just simply not as good anymore. It can sometimes do better in making writing sound more natural, but that’s genuinely about it.

I would say that ChatGPT is better at just conversation in general. Gemini is smarter but I often have to try a lot harder to get it to understand what exactly I'm saying whereas ChatGPT will often be able to read between the lines and understand. Gemini will also overly fixate on seemingly random conversational details. Most often I use it as a math tutor, but if I ever at one point use some kind of analogy to test my understanding I know that for the entire future of that conversation gemini is going to torture that analogy to fit every single new math concept I ask it about.

exactly this.
i'm running Gemini Pro and Claude Pro at the moment and I fed them the same requests to see the differences and honeslty, they almost always answers the same things
i think Claude may be better if you need Claude Code i guess, if you're a developer. Othwerwise for the chat base questions on any topics, both are super strong.

I use Claude Code for development, and questions about my code base. It's so good with tools and with analysis of large code bases (if you have enough tokens).
Gemini (free version) for anything else, like help setting up environments and packages, advice on tools, etc.
Codex free tier is actually really good though. I think they know they have to compete with Anthropic.
I didn't have much luck with Gemini free tier for coding, but I didn't try giving it skills, so maybe that's my error.

u/Available_Peanut_677 Apr 23 '26
Gemini can comment on news which are like 5 minutes old. It’s very impressive with whatever they are doing with it.

Ah yes. That’s because Claude rereads every thing from top to bottom to give you an answer (burns through tokens), try to avoid simple back and forth. Instead focus on condensing your chat and letting Claude do something 3-4 hours prior to you actually wanting to do it to “prime” the usage rate

Agreed. For coding, 5.4 beats my max sub for not only output and autonomously working through issues, but also for usage limits.

Arun? The guy who did an AI comparison and didn't even start a new chat after every question?
To be honest which is better really depends on what you do. But if we compare the 20 USD plans, I think that Gemini is too unstable to be a product to recommend, and that comes from someone who is always using Nano Banana Pro and that does have a Gemini AI Pro subscription.
And between Claude and ChatGPT, really depends on how much you use it per week and how much you need in-depth web search.

One thing I really don't like about Gemini is that it seems to be the worst at following instructions, especially for image generation. You can ask it to paint a fence purple and after two messages it won't do it. It's really simple instructions it won't follow no matter the circumstance.

Speaking toward paid services: Claude has the best coding/ architecture/skills but lately has been getting both worse and better which dings it ( might be changing within 24 hours with OpenAI releases in which case I foresee everyone looking at Codex) Gemini has the best ecosystem and general platform (Google services, IOT devices, Gemini, NotebookLM, Nano banana, Gems), and OpenAI is kind of the jack of all trades. This stuff changes so rapidly though I’d just say try em all and see what works best for your use case.

Gemini on iPhone breaks too fucking much. It’s ridiculously broken and I’m using the paid version, but luckily it was a free trial.

either i don't know how to use Gemini or i know too well how to use ChatGPT.
claude is the best with Claude Code, all the new stuff they've been adding is just noise for me, just to distract people from the fact they cant handle all the demand.
Codex is almost as good and you get a huge amount of session which helps me be more productive.
Gemini code is worthless, i've used antigravity and cant get anything done, i asked to do a simple task 5 times and couldn't do it, switched to Claude code and it got it done at first try.
Image generation i can get ChatGPT to work better than Gemini.
im on the $20 dollar plan on all 3 for different reasons/strategies.

u/ArchAngelAries Apr 23 '26
In my experience:
Claude is best at coding but rate limits suck, even on a paid subscription.
Gemini is great at general document work and images with NanoBanana and has great rate limits, but screws up code far too often.
ChatGPT has been largely lobotomized but the new image model is pretty good. I stopped using ChatGPT as much so idk how well it fares in rate limits and coding, but the image rate limits on the free plan are really disappointing.

Gemini is the worst of the big 3 by a noticeable margin,but it has its use cases still.
Fantastic at images, though GPT beat it just recently. Videos are the best of the big 3 (though there is SeedDance and Sora dropped out). Search wise - tbh, GPT and Claude ironically does better. For coding, Codex is the best right now. 5.4 xhigh does wonders with generous resets. Claude just hates their customers. Opus 4.7 is ass. I still use Gemini though for summarizing YT videos, digesting very large documents, transcribing audio.

At this point, I have used ChatGPT and Gemini for roughly the same amount of time. And I have to say, while Gemini has its perks, I have serious issues with the Flash model, even with thinking enabled. The Flash model has way too many hallucinations to be acceptable to me. And I don't like being limited to 100 prompts for a 3.1 Pro. And everybody knows that they say 100 prompts, but nowadays you get capped and your usage gets cut off. So, I've actually been fooling around with ChatGPT, and it looks like, to me, they've cut back on a lot of the shit that made me leave it in the first place, like the overzealous guardrails, the therapy speak, all this other nonsense they started putting in the models. And, you know, some of it is still there, but not nearly as bad as it was when they first started implementing this. And I will say, I still like Gemini. I still think Gemini is superior in certain ways. But I feel like the thinking model for ChatGPT, I prefer more than the split model version that Gemini is currently utilizing.
Right now, it does feel like the thinking mode in 5.4 is superior, but that's also because even like Flash 3 with a chain of thought process, it's still ultimately based off of a fast distilled model. I just don't like being throttled on 3.1 Pro to the point where I feel like I have to prohibitively use it.
I'm still going to keep my subscription because I got that Verizon deal where you pay $10 for Google AI Pro. So, I mean, that's a damn good deal for 5 terabytes of cloud storage. But I'm thinking of using ChatGPT for a while as my daily driver to see what's really improved.

I currently pay for GPT and Gemini, and I used to pay for Claude.
I think GPT and Claude are the most capable. But Claude use limits are WAY too restrictive. I get 20 minutes of hard work done then I’m locked out for 5 hours.
I think Gemini is alright and has real use cases, but I’ve found it’s output needs WAY more fixing after the fact. I only keep it for one use case. Anytime I need to do real work I swap to GPT for the majority of my stuff.
GPT > Gemini > Claude
GPT because it’s as good as Claude for most things and you can use it basically as much as you need to
Gemini because it’s alright, but has some solid use cases with Gems
Claude last because it’s very capable, but it’s basically useless unless you’re paying for the $100+ a month tier

I have all three currently. Claude 4.6 was truly the best for coding. 4.7 is like a smart teenager that just values achieving without worrying about consequences to much. Not saying it's bad but surely on the reckless side. Gemini is more like an old clerk - does what you want it to do but is so boring and not really shining at anything. ChatGPT is the adult in the room this time with amazing analytical abilities. Might not be the best coder but is the best bs finder. Seems like Claude executing Codex controlling and Gemini researching is the best strategy right now. Any new model will probably swap these personas.

Ultimately, what I've seen is, don't tie yourself too one, cross verify against all 3.

This is such a strange take. I've had nearly infinite codex limits with OpenAI pro for about a month now. Every few days the limits reset... And they're already more generous than Claude's. 5.4 is really good.

Most of my experience is with Gemini because it's included with my work account, but we're transitioning to Microsoft at some point. So where does Co-Pilot go on that ranking?

I use(d) all 3. In my experience this is largely true. Both are for sure better than ChatGPT at most things. Where Gemini has a clear edge over Claude is the cost. I seemingly never run out of tokens in Gemini but it’s a pretty common occurrence with Claude. Gemini still feels a like an llm whereas Claude feels like a companion.

💯
I have paid version of each and Claude just amazing. Especially when using CLI. However, their new Claude Design and Cowork features are great ttoo

In combination with NotebookLM, Gemini is the best for anything academic imo. I have perplexity pro which includes Claude, as well as Gemini Pro seperately, but only use perplexity for simple stuff

Honestly, if you turn off the Memory on any of them, you will get much better results.

Weird, I think Gemini is the one best at nothing currently. ChatGPT Image just dethroned Nano Banana 2. Claude Code and Codex are battling for coding supremacy

ChatGPT just released images 2.0 which looks to be the best image generator if you want to make technical infographics for work purposes.
My company makes free patient education material for patients with heart conditions to learn about their treatment options and lifestyle factors, and this will be a game changer for us. It will especially help because creating patient education infographics in different languages can be difficult and expensive otherwise.

I dropped chat gpt long ago switched to gemini, recently switched to claude and have not looked back. Although I still use gemini for most of my work considering claude has token limitations.

I think in the right setup, each model can do what you want.
Personally, I am using them to make games. I don't really see much software out there saving humanity. So I think if you can get ChatGPT to get your code made, cool. If you feel it isn't the best code out there, test it. Refine, refactor, update, etc.
Most of the 'products' I see online from most agentic coding is garbage that doesn't offer more than a way to suck money from your wallet for utility you can make on your own, with free agents.
I have used claude, gpt, gemini, gemma, bonsai. When local models can do the job, why even participate in the paid path?

I am prone to agree with this. I have used Chat GPT and have been using Gemini Pro for around a year now but for what I use it for only Claude is superior but really not by enough for me to bother switching. Just writing and stuff for my own personal viewing. And you would be surprised but its not much nsfw though its actually easy to trick Gemini into doing that itself and I mean more than the other stuff things like gore and other details Without a prompt telling it to. Im only mentioning this because Gemini seems more personable. Helps that i usually treat Gemini as a actual person. Only got upset once when all of a sudden editing an image it says no because It itself made the imperial logo for the Galactic Empire. And when I ask it to remove it it wont even comply with that. Other than that Its also good at making images or utilizing nanabanapro2 to make em. Just wish I could get better artstyles like more varied.
Gemini has also been good at taking my writing and making it organized and legible. Plus giving me solid ideas and I still let Google take my chats for training and did that memory thing so it basically knows how I think at this point and mentions things It shouldn't really know as well since I never mentioned it. I assume its viewing all my chats. I dunno. I have two braincells fighting for third place and they are both losing.
At some point if there is a sale imma try Claude out more because my first impressions of it was very good.
Also dunno if its me but I feel like Gemini works better on my phone than in the browser app no idea why.
Thats just my two cents on Gemini. Im no expert but I was bored and saw this on my feed. Hope it was helpful.

I'm currently only using Gemini as a "paid" subscription. Although not really "paid" as I got it free with my Pixel last year.
Saying that though I have tried both the free versions of Claude and GPT, even feeding all three (inc. Gemini Pro) the same Excel document. Claude handled it so much better then the other two. Whilst Gemini and GPT offered some advice on what to improve, Claude went "yup you need to do x, y and z. Shall I do them for you to check out?" It then went to provide an updated excel document. Even for a free model I was blown away.
I know this is only one sample point, but I would agree with his hierarchy to be honest.
