I’m curious on why people would prefer one over the other.
Hello,
Are you asking about selecting different models or modules (“Message an assistant” vs “Generate a completion” vs “Make an API call”)?
When it comes to models, each model is trained on different data and can handle different tasks differently.
Gemini, for example, has the highest token capability, which makes it perfect for working with long text resources. A
nthropic offers 3 completely different models- Opus, Sonnet, Haiku - each is tailored to different needs- one is better for coding and another for writing.
You should test them out for each task and then select model which handles it the most efficient way.
If you’re asking about modules- it’s simple- each is designed for different endpoints. “Make an API call” offers the highest flexibility- for example, when using Anthropic models, it allows you to enable “thinking.”
Hope it helps.
Have a nice day!
