xAI just rolled Grok 4.3 out to the full API on April 30, 2026, two weeks after a $300/month beta locked behind SuperGrok Heavy. The bigger story is the price reset. Grok 4.3 now runs at $1.25 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens, an input cut of roughly 40% and an output cut closer to 60% versus Grok 4.20. It scores 53 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, slotting just above Claude Sonnet 4.6 and well below GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. This Grok 4.3 review covers what actually changed since the April beta, where Grok now stands against the other frontier […]

GPT-5.5 now sits at 59 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (#2 of 141 models), two points ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro at 57. The April 23, 2026 launch flipped what had been a dead heat into a clear ChatGPT lead on most head-to-head benchmarks. But that single number hides massive differences in what each AI actually does best, and choosing the wrong one could mean paying for features you don’t need while missing the ones you do. This comparison breaks down every meaningful difference between ChatGPT and Gemini in April 2026. We cover the latest models (GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro), benchmark performance, pricing across all tiers, and clear […]

Claude hit #1 on the App Store in early 2026, pushing ChatGPT out of the top spot for the first time. The catalyst was Anthropic publicly refusing the Pentagon’s demand to deploy its models for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, after which the government labelled Anthropic a “supply chain risk.” The backlash flipped the script: users migrated to Claude out of sympathy for Anthropic’s stance, and the company reported over 60% growth in free users and more than doubled paid subscribers in just a few months. For more on how the two companies’ philosophies shape what you actually see in the chat window, we broke down how Claude and ChatGPT […]

Update — May 2, 2026: Read our new Grok 4.3 review. ChatGPT now runs on GPT-5.5, launched on April 23, 2026, while Grok is powered by Grok 4.3 (released April 30, 2026) and the older Grok 4.20 from xAI. Both chatbots have evolved significantly over the past year, and picking between them is no longer as simple as “ChatGPT is the default.” Grok has grown from 1.9% US market share to 17.8% in just 12 months, while ChatGPT still dominates with over 900 million weekly active users and roughly 64.5% global market share. So which one should you actually use? We compared Grok vs ChatGPT across benchmarks, pricing, coding, writing, […]

Google released Gemini 3.1 Pro on February 19, 2026, and its benchmark numbers are hard to ignore. The model scored 77.1% on ARC-AGI-2, a test specifically designed to prevent AI from relying on memorised answers — it forces genuine reasoning on problems the model has never encountered before. That is more than double the 31.1% scored by Gemini 3 Pro when it launched just three months ago. This article covers everything you need to know about Gemini 3.1 Pro, including what changed from the previous version, how it performs against Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2, what it costs, and where you can access it right now. If you’re deciding whether […]
