Switch to Claude Sonnet 4 instead of ChatGPT. Get 2.1x greater ROI for your business tasks. How do we know? 10,000+ businesses tested every AI model with real money on the line – and the data reveals exactly which AI wins at what. But here's the catch...

Just like you wouldn't use a Ferrari for grocery shopping, you shouldn't use the same AI for every business task.

Which AI Dominates Which Task?

There's a platform called OpenRouter – a marketplace where businesses test 50+ AI models. Think of it as one shopping center with all the AI stores. Here's why their data matters: When companies spend real money, patterns emerge. After millions of purchases, we see which models dominate specific tasks.

Here's which Chat AI wins for each task this month:

Real Example: Choosing AI for Translation

Let's say you need to translate your e-commerce content. Here's how three key factors determine which AI tier to use:

Best Value ($) - High volume, common languages, general accuracy:

You're translating 10 million+ words (entire product catalog) into Spanish, English, or German. With this massive volume, even saving €0.001 per word means €10,000+ saved. These models excel at major world languages and deliver the general meaning perfectly – if they occasionally use "couch" instead of "sofa," customers still buy the product.

Best Overall Performance ($$) - Medium volume, regional languages, brand consistency:

Now you're translating 1 million words (key product lines + marketing) into Polish, Portuguese, or Korean. The volume is smaller, so you can afford better quality. These models understand cultural nuances in mid-tier languages – critical when your tagline needs to resonate, not just translate. Perfect for expanding into specific new markets.

Best for Complex Tasks ($$$) - Low volume, rare languages, perfect precision:

You need just 10,000 words translated – but they're your legal terms for the Maltese market, or safety instructions in Icelandic. When you're translating critical documents into niche languages, every word must be legally precise. This tier handles languages with limited training data and captures every nuance of meaning. (Note: Legal documents still need lawyer review, but they'll only need to adjust a few things instead of starting from scratch – saving days of billable hours.)

The verdict: Volume, language, and precision requirements move together. High-volume basic translations into common languages? Use the $ tier. Low-volume critical content in rare languages? That's when you need the $$$ tier.
