Evaluating LLMs for my personal use case

After testing 11 AI models on 130 real-life queries, a personal user found no clear winner for everyday tasks. DeepSeek and Qwen3 models generally performed best, while expensive closed models like Gemini Pro and Claude Sonnet unexpectedly underperformed. The evaluation revealed that model speed and cost vary dramatically, reasoning features rarely improved results for simple questions, and a multi-model approach using fast, affordable options provides the best results.
