OpenAI's flagship of the GPT-5.6 series (GA since July 9, 2026). 1.05M context, 128K output, and the new "max" (deeper) and "ultra" (parallel subagents) reasoning modes – leader on Terminal-Bench 2.1.

The balanced GPT-5.6 tier: GPT-5.5-class quality at half the cost. For most marketing workflows the economically smartest frontier model.

The fastest and cheapest GPT-5.6 tier. Ideal for classification, routing, chatbots, and any volume task that doesn't need frontier reasoning.

Google's efficiency model from July 21, 2026: near-frontier intelligence at Flash latency. Markedly better token efficiency than 3.5 Flash – built for production agents.

Anthropic's most capable widely released model (GA since June 9, 2026). Built for long-running agents and the most demanding knowledge work – adaptive thinking is always on.

Anthropic's everyday flagship from July 24, 2026: close to Fable 5 at half the price. SOTA on Frontier-Bench and GDPval-AA, thinking on by default.

Anthropic's best combination of speed and intelligence – and many content teams' favorite for on-brand copy. 1M context, adaptive thinking.

The fastest Claude model with near-frontier intelligence. First choice for chatbots, classification, routing, and anything that must answer in under a second.

Meta's natively multimodal open-source model with 10M token context. MoE architecture (17B active / 109B total) – ideal for enterprises with privacy requirements and self-hosting.

European flagship model with focus on multilingual content. MoE architecture (41B active / 675B total), Apache 2.0 licensed – particularly strong at EU languages.

OpenAI's native image generation integrated into GPT-5. Creates high-quality marketing visuals with superior text rendering and consistent style – usable directly from the chat interface.

Google's image model built for speed and throughput, generally available since May 2026. Photorealism, strong prompt adherence, and conversational editing – the workhorse generator for social and ads.
