OpenAIProprietaryNo. 1 overall
Editor's verdict
The default pick when one model has to handle chat, documents, and light coding equally well. Premium pricing is justified if your workload is genuinely mixed.
Where it wins

- Top-tier tool orchestration in multi-step agentic work
- Consistent tone control for customer-facing writing
Watch-outs
- Output can be verbose without explicit length limits
- Occasional over-hedging on subjective questions
