Some models that I’ve been using recently that I find surprisingly good:

- DeepSeek for planning code tasks https://www.deepseek.com
- Phind for visual answers and multi-step reasoning https://www.phind.com
- Perplexity Deep Research for searching resources and in-depth research https://www.perplexity.ai

I usually try both (deepseek and o3) for comparison and get consistent better results with deepseek. For coding act step sonnet is the best

I too replaced Claude with DeepSeek for this planning step. Will have to try more with o3

Just tried Deep Research this morning and it’s incredible for specific topics. It seemed that Perplexity were falling behind after the initial novelty

Never heard of Phind before but it’s impressive. I really can’t get into Perplexity but people seem to love it.
