Sources & method

How I work, and where I look.

01
Every number has a source and a date
Prices, rankings and benchmarks say where they come from and when they were read. If a figure is not verified, I say so.
02
Facts and opinions kept apart
Guides explain; opinions are labelled and signed. Rumours are marked "unconfirmed".
03
Sponsorships always disclosed
The site and newsletter may host sponsored placements: they are always labelled and never change my assessments. Guides and rankings are not for sale.
04
AI as a tool, humans accountable
I use AI for research and drafts. Guides, opinions and commented news are reviewed by me, checking figures at the source. The newsletter and news drafts are prepared with AI: I read and approve them before they go out.
05
Corrections welcome
Found an error or an outdated figure? Write to me: I fix it and show the update date.

Sources I recommend

The four reference sources

These are the sites I start from for rankings, prices, tools and news: every figure on the site shows its source and date.

Independent benchmarks of intelligence, speed and cost for hundreds of models. The reference for numbers.

When to use it: To pick an API model or see what a task really costs.

Rankings built from millions of blind, side-by-side votes by real people.

When to use it: To see which model people prefer for text, code, images and video.

The largest catalogue of AI tools: 50,000+ tools searchable by task.

When to use it: To find the right tool for a specific, niche task.

News, previews and features in testing at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta, often before launch.

When to use it: To see what's coming next. Rumours need confirming.
