> Best in what sense? Intelligence, speed, cost?
Best at product / market fit. And that space is very very wide. Does the GenAI serve as a feature in a larger product (like realtime “reasoning” on X or in Apple’s case in iOS)? Is it a standalone product that general public or enterprises use? Does it play in a niche area? Etc.
Sometimes having a fast enough model at a low enough price makes you the obvious choice e.g. I know Claude is better than gpt-4o-mini but I use the latter for a lot more data processing because it's significantly cheaper and faster and the gains I'd get out of Claude seem somewhat marginal for my use case
