You don't need all 26 AI models out there. (Just the right ChatGPT or Claude branch) 1. Not sure where to start? Open GPT-6 Astra or Opus 5.5. 2. Already on Claude? Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's own pick. 3. A long agent job? Move up to Fable 5.1. 4. Lots of small tasks? Haiku 5.5 or GPT-6 Luna. 5. A giant document? Gemini 4 Argon takes 1M context. 6. A long coding run? Kimi K3.1 Pro is built for it. 7. Need it quicker? K3.1 Pro Highspeed, same model. 8. Want the lowest cost? Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. 9. Need images? Nano Banana 2.1 or GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst. 10. Video with sound? Gemini Omni Flash. 11. Voice? GPT-Live 1 or Grok Voice 3.0. I'm on Claude Max, so Claude is my home base. But I built 2 websites with GPT-6 Astra, and the token use felt higher than Fable 5.1. Starting out? Open the lab's own pick first. Move down a branch when the job is small. P.S. What would you hand to a model first?

Stop re-explaining yourself to Claude. (I stayed at Level 1 for 6 months.) These are the swaps that move you up: 1. One quick answer → Research digs deeper. 2. Scrolling for an old idea → ask Search past chats. 3. A new chat for every job → one Project with its files. 4. Pasting your rules → Instructions in Settings. 5. Introducing yourself again → Memory (on by default). 6. Copying files in → Connectors for Drive and Slack. 7. Retyping the same steps → a Skill that holds them. 8. Screenshots of results → an Artifact link. 9. Doing the task yourself → Cowork runs it. 10. Monday reminders → Scheduled tasks (in the cloud). Rows 3 to 8 work on the Free plan. The first two and the last two need Pro or higher. Honestly, number 5 is the one people feel first. You don't need to be a developer to use any of them. It's the same 10 jobs you already do, just one level up. Follow Muhammad Ayan ♻️ Repost to help others P.S. How many of the 10 do you still do by hand?

Anthropic shipped Fable 5.2 with a score for every job (receipts). How I'd hand out each job: Its table puts Fable 5.2 next to Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra.
