Not only coding but also general knowledge work, anything from learning about how some things work (e.g. walking me through PNP vs NPN transistors) to summarizing texts, doing web research, and occasionally some OCR.

I've experimented with a few models for all this and have found Gemini the best at OCR but quite a bit worse at the rest. Claude is worse than GPT at web research-shaped things, but Opus 4.8 wins my anecdote benchmark for the other tasks besides those two.

But really, for code or knowlege stuff Gemini is markedly worse than the others, while Opus and GPT 5.5 are very very close.
