This is a pretty good guide to what you can use in the world of generative AI right now (there are many AI applications outside this but they are specialized and usually embedded in applications, such as automated translation, image editing, etc). "The four most advanced AI systems are Claude from Anthropic, Google's Gemini, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Grok by Elon Musk's xAI. Then there are the open weights AI families, which are almost (but not quite) as good: Deepseek, Kimi, Z and Qwen from China, and Mistral from France... Any other AI service you use that offers a cutting-edge AI from Microsoft Copilot to Perplexity (both of which offer some free use) is powered by one or more of these nine AIs as its base."
