This video explains all major AI models as of 2026, covering chatbots (GPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek), open-source options (Llama, Qwen, Mistral), aggregators (Perplexity), and generation models for images, video, and music. It also introduces AI agents and offers practical recommendations for choosing the right model.
A short editorial from the SEONIB team on why this content matters.
This video is an essential 2026 guide to the AI landscape, from flagship models to open-source alternatives and creative generators. It cuts through hype with real benchmarks and practical use-case advice.
Unlike typical overviews, this video emphasizes the shift from chat to agents and the 'rent vs. own' philosophy of open-source models. SEONIB highlights that choosing AI should be as task-specific as choosing apps on a phone.
Marketers, developers, and content creators should watch this to determine which 2-3 models to integrate into their workflows based on task, privacy, and cost.
OpenAI's general-purpose language model behind ChatGPT, now at version 5.2.
Google's multimodal AI model family integrated into Gmail, Docs, and Android.
Anthropic's AI model known for advanced coding, reasoning, and a less sycophantic tone.
Open-source Chinese AI model with mixture-of-experts architecture, cheap to run.
AI aggregator that combines multiple models with live web search and source citations.
OpenAI's video generation model with realistic physics and up to 1-minute clips.
Systems that perform multi-step tasks autonomously, like booking meetings or browsing the web.
The amount of text an AI model can hold in short-term memory during a conversation.
What is the main difference between ChatGPT and GPT?
ChatGPT is the app/interface; GPT is the underlying AI model that powers it.
Which AI model is best for coding?
Claude (Opus 4.6 or Sonnet 4.5) is widely considered the best for coding, based on benchmarks like LiveCodeBench.
Is Gemini biased because Google owns it?
There is no measurable evidence of bias in factual queries, but it's wise to be mindful given Google's advertising business.
Can I run DeepSeek locally on my own computer?
Yes, DeepSeek R1 is fully open source and can be downloaded and run on your own hardware, including smaller distilled versions.
What is Perplexity's advantage over direct chatbot use?
Perplexity aggregates multiple AI models and adds live web search with clear source citations, making it great for research.
How do AI video generators compare? Which should I use?
Sora 2 for cinematic quality, Kling 2.6 for speed and audio-visual sync. Both have limitations with complex physics.
What does 'mixture of experts' mean in AI?
It's a design where only a fraction of the model's parameters activate per query, keeping it fast despite large total size.
Are AI agents reliable for real tasks?
They save time but still make mistakes; think of them as interns that need supervision, especially on longer tasks.
How can I try multiple AI models without paying for each separately?
Use Perplexity, which offers access to GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Kimi with one subscription.
What is the biggest current limitation of AI music generation?
Copyright and ownership of generated songs are unresolved legal questions, even though the audio quality is impressive.
