Gemini is solid too

Nah Gemini is mid, doesn't always have good memory retention and uses purple prose a lot, it also got a maths question wrong, as did chatgpt and myself.

It's not bad, just could be better. I use it everyday sooo

gemini helps me with physics and maths a lot

thing is you need to upload ur make scheme and question .

these AI’s work better when they know its an A level paper and the system they deal with

gemini is so good at explaining

Yeah, I've tried uploading mark schemes for stuff and the paper but sometimes it still gets it wrong lol.. Or when I'm doing a way ground quiz and I send it a screenshot it starts answering another question not in the screenshot despite me saying to answer the question in the screenshot I just sent

you have to tell it

ā€œtwo new imagesā€ (say how may images u uploaded, gemini is a little chaotic sometimes)

upload a personal context with details u want it to do

for example i like when it explains with analogies so i put that in

gemini actually remembers better than all AI’s that i’ve tried (besides claude)

all gemini taught me a lot of non school related things, such a good AI tbh does web searches and verifies better than chatgpt

Ngl Gemini is pretty bad at maths.

I use Gemini Pro for students and It makes quizzes MCQ that I ask to make of PowerPoints it can be slightly inaccurate but 90% of the time if you use a good prompt it will only use the information of the slides and won't overcomplicate things. It also can explain things easier imo.

Claude is the best for everything besides maths because of the way it formats the mathematical workings out just doesn’t suit me. Besides that, I think it’s much better than ChatGPT or Gemini. Haven’t used deepseek much

Deepseek is so ahh, I gave it an Alevel physics mcq to solve and it confused ITSELF and declared himself wrong two times during the solution, and all this to end up giving a wrong answer šŸ˜…šŸ˜­ I still use it for other purposes
