It's funny how AI models are becoming part of every day life now. I would nearly go and say they all have their own personality which is strangely weird. I love the dawn of AI because they have made my life so much easier in my job and in other areas that I was interested in such as coding. It has helped me bring a number of things to life that I could only have ever dreamed of which is nice. I use different AI for different things because I find that they react differently and some are better than others at different things. I have subscribed to all of these models at different times to see how good their pro subscription but they are moving so fast that the base models this year for free are as good as the pro models has year so I ended a couple of subscriptions because I was getting the same results from the base models as I would the pro models.
I started off with OpenAI of course like everyone and thought it was magnificent. Even at the very start. Then I started to use Grok more and more and that nearly overtook OpenAI. For a coding model I started using CursorAI to replace Grok and OpenAI as it was much easier and the AI could edit your code and replace it with the new code. This was amazing as well and I still maintain my CursorAI subscription. I started dappling with Antrophic Claude and this blew me away. It is head and shoulders above the rest and it nearly took over writing a project for me and I look forward to talking more about this in the not so distant future. The downside of this is that everyone is using it so the demand is huge for it at the moment especially their thinking model Opus 4.5 which is their best model for development and coding. There was one point where I gave it a task and it had 4 or 5 agents working on different parts , opening Chrome, taking screenshots of my localhost project and feeding it back into the master. It was like someone took the steering over in your car while you put your feet up. Or some tech guy was on Teamviewer or anydesk making changes to your system. It was a hijack. The pro subscription tokens eat up quite fast and there is a time out of 8 hours before you can continue which is a balls It is a good idea to read a few tutorials about how best to spend your tokens given the constraints. You also have a weekly limit which I am holding out on and so I can get cracking again on my project at 8pm tonight. The pro max subscription is €90. A bit steep but I am seriously thinking of subscribing to it for the next couple of months at least. It is that good. Once you get the claude.md file right then this is half the battle. This is kind of a set of rules you set it. If it makes a mistake then you edit the claude md file.
For flights and travel I use Google Gemini as it can look up Google Flights and Google Hotels fast and feed me back stuff. I also use Gemini with the kids as it is more friendly looking and I was always a Google guy.The free model is still very good.

I have dabbled with Perplexity but without the sub you don't get far which I do not like . I find that I have not used OpenAI in a long time. A dev pointed out to me the amount of API keys sk- env files there are on github ready for the taking but I wouldn't risk upsetting a hacker.

My set up right now for coding is coming away from Cursor AI and going with VS code with Claude in the terminal. They say Claude is faster just having it in the terminal window but I do like seeing my project in front of me. I hear Typewise and Copiloy are also good . Copilot is the most affordable and you get alot so I will try out this soon. Is there any other AI that you guys love that I never heard of . I have never really tried Opensea as it's just a knock off of OpenAI but it may be good. What do you use to write code other than your big brains?
