The outcome
Choose a model based on observed task performance rather than brand familiarity or one lucky answer.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Create a representative prompt, fixed source packet, expected output, and scoring rubric.
- 02
Select official or clearly identified bots and inspect each bot's provider and privacy shield.
- 03
Send equivalent instructions without revealing one model's answer to another.
- 04
Score factuality, instruction following, reasoning, tone, latency, and cost using the same evidence.
- 05
Repeat with several examples and document where each model fails before choosing a default.
