My usage has come down to mostly Claude (until I run out of free tier quota) and then Gemini. Claude is the best for code and Gemini 2.0 Flash is good enough while also being free (well considering how much data G has hoovered up over the years, perhaps not) and more importantly highly available.

For simple queries like generating shell scripts for some plumbing, or doing some data munging, I go straight to Gemini.

Yep, exactly same here.

Gemini 2.0 Flash is extremely good, and I've yet to hit any usage limits with them - for heavy usage I just go to Gemini directly. For "talk to an expert" usage, Claude is hard to beat though.


Claude still can't make real time web searches though for RAG, unless I'm missing something.
