How to read model names
- A family name and number (GPT-6, Gemini 3, Claude 5) marks a generation.
- A tier name marks size and price. Larger tiers (Astra, Pro, Opus) are slower and more capable; smaller ones (Instant, Flash, Haiku) are faster and cheaper.
- "Preview" or "beta" means the product may change and is often limited to certain plans.
- The assistant is not the model. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are apps; each lets you use one or more models, and the default changes over time.
For a practical comparison, read ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini. To understand limits and pricing, see tokens and context windows and the token calculator.
