It follows instructions more carefully and the writing sounds more natural. For coding, Claude also scores higher on the tests that developers use to compare AI tools. Google Gemini is better than ChatGPT when you need up to date information because it can search Google in real time. ChatGPT sometimes gives outdated answers because it was trained on older data. Perplexity is better than ChatGPT for research because it shows you the sources for every answer. Grok from Elon Musk's company is better for anything related to news and social media because it has live access to X, which used to be called Twitter.
