You don’t have to choose
Both model families are strong at writing, reasoning and reading long text. Their styles differ, and so do their strengths on any given question. Instead of picking one forever, compare them on the tasks you care about.
A simple routine
- Use Ask for quick questions about the page you’re on.
- Switch to Duet for writing and decisions, and keep the answer you prefer.
- Hand repetitive web work to the Agent.
Read answers critically
Both can be confidently wrong. For facts, ask for sources or use Research mode, which reads the web and cites what it used.
Model versions change
Providers update their models regularly. Claude Duet uses current Claude and GPT models through their APIs; the exact versions can change as providers release new ones.
A note on names
Claude Duet is an independent product. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic and GPT of OpenAI; the names describe the models the service runs on.
