I tested open source AI alternatives against ChatGPT and Gemini; this local tool proved most reliable

A writer has been testing open source AI alternatives against ChatGPT and Gemini. They were interested in comparing the quality of different large language models (LLM).

The writer posed a question to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, asking them to pick the best smartphone for most people to buy. They were pleased with the results, finding the AI models produced practical and well-justified answers.

In a follow-up test, the writer asked the models to recommend the best Google Pixel phone for most people in 2026, taking into account the recently released Pixel 11 series. According to Android Authority, the models failed to agree on a recommendation.
