AI Model Recommender

Describe what you want to do, mark the constraints that matter, and get a ranked list of the AI models that fit. Covers Anthropic (Claude Fable 5 / Opus 5 / Sonnet 5 / Haiku 4.5 / Claude Code), OpenAI (GPT-5.6 Sol / Terra / Luna, Codex CLI), Google (Gemini 3.6 Flash / 3.5 Flash-Lite, Antigravity), xAI (Grok 4.5 / 4.3 / Build), coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cline, Zed, Kiro, Amp, JetBrains), open weights (Llama 4 Scout / Maverick, Qwen3.6, DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.2, Kimi K3, MiniMax M3, Mistral Large 3), plus image (Midjourney V8.2, Ideogram 4.0, GPT Image 2, Gemini 3 Pro Image, FLUX.2, SD 3.5, Adobe Firefly 5, Recraft V4.1) and voice (Eleven v3 / Flash, Scribe v2, Deepgram Nova-3 / Flux, Whisper, gpt-realtime-2.1).
