1. Overall Best Models for Raw Intelligence

• Top Performer – o1-Pro
  • For those needing the absolute cutting edge in AI reasoning and intelligence, o1-Pro is second to none. Its performance in complex tasks and robust coding abilities place it at the forefront of the AI landscape.
  • Key Caveat: The price point is high, making it less accessible for general users.
• Best Public Option – o1
  • Positioned just below o1-Pro, o1 delivers world-class performance at a slightly lower cost. In coding challenges or creative tasks, it consistently outperforms or matches competitors.
  • Competition: Models like 🍌 Claude-3.5-Sonnet-20241022 can surpass o1 in very specific coding scenarios, but overall, o1 remains a top choice.

2. Budget-Friendly (or Free) Alternative

• Gemini-1206 in AI Studio
  • Standout Feature: Technically free and nearly unlimited usage. Gemini-1206 is lauded for its intelligence and minimal censorship (when fine-tuned properly).
  • Who Should Use It: Perfect for anyone prioritizing cost-effectiveness, creative tasks, or wanting to avoid heavy content filters.
• Best for Creative Writing – GPT-4o-2024-11-20
  • Users focused primarily on creative narratives and expressive writing will find GPT-4o-2024-11-20 the leading solution. It consistently produces richer, more engaging text.

3. Music Generation

• Champion – Suno V4
  • Known for its lifelike music synthesis, it outshines the competition in both sound fidelity and genre versatility.
  • Runner-Up: Udio 1.5 is a strong choice for specialized vocals or voice-based compositions.

4. Image Generation

• Top Tier – FLUX1.1[Pro] Ultra
  • The conventional leader in photo-realistic and stylized image generation.
• Open-Source Standout – Pixel Wave
  • A fine-tuned variant of FLUX.1[Dev], Pixel Wave often excels in specific art styles and custom aesthetics, making it an excellent alternative for those who prefer open-source solutions.

5. Speech Generation

• Best Overall – gpt-4o-audio-preview-2024-12-17 (GPT-4o Advanced Voice Mode)
  • Delivers the most natural, human-like voices currently available.
  • Free Alternative: Gemini Live’s real-time voice mode includes vision integration, though its speech quality is slightly less refined.

6. Video Generation

• Current Leader – Kling 1.6
  • Offers high-quality video rendering and animation with user-friendly workflows.
• Runner-Up – Sora Turbo
  • Excels in specialized or niche motion sequences.
• Forthcoming Disruptor – Google’s Veo 2
  • Expected to dominate with advanced video synthesis capabilities upon release.

7. 3D Generation

• Leading Option – Tripo V2
  • Known for high-fidelity 3D modeling and sculpting.
• Open-Source – Microsoft TRELLIS
  • A strong, community-driven 3D creation platform.

8. Search Engines

• Best All-Around – Perplexity Pro
  • Delivers unparalleled precision in search queries and contextual AI-driven results.
  • Free Alternative: 🍒 DeepSeek Search is the closest competitor in effectiveness without a subscription fee, closely followed by 🍉 SearchGPT.

9. Humanoid Robots

• Top Performer – Figure 02
  • Offers advanced bipedal locomotion and interactive AI.
• Budget Option – Unitree G1
  • Ideal for cost-conscious adopters seeking stable, humanoid robotics.
• Promising – 1X Neo
  • An emerging contender generating buzz for its next-level robotics design.

Models IQ  as of December 2024

Below is a hypothetical table of equivalent IQs for each top model discussed. These figures should be viewed as illustrative proxies rather than scientifically validated scores, since AI systems do not undergo standardized IQ tests designed for humans.

Notes:

• Models that focus on tasks other than language or textual reasoning (e.g., music, image, or video generation) are assigned “N/A” because an IQ-based metric doesn’t directly apply.
• Speech models are assigned approximate IQ scores when they also exhibit strong language reasoning capabilities in addition to voice synthesis.
• These IQ estimates are purely illustrative. No universally accepted IQ test for AI systems exists; these numbers reflect approximate or relative performance in language, reasoning, and problem-solving tasks.

Conclusion

By late 2024, AI models and robotics have reached remarkable sophistication. The best choice hinges on your budget, specific use cases, and willingness to invest in premium or open-source solutions. o1-Pro and o1 dominate in raw intelligence, while Gemini-1206 remains the unrivaled free option. For creative pursuits, GPT-4o-2024-11-20 shines in writing, Suno V4 leads in music generation, FLUX1.1[Pro] Ultra rules in images, and Kling 1.6 is the go-to for video content (with Google’s Veo 2 poised to disrupt). Meanwhile, gpt-4o-audio-preview-2024-12-17 excels in speech synthesis, and Tripo V2 stands out for 3D generation. For searching the web, Perplexity Pro is unmatched, though DeepSeek Search is a commendable free substitute. In the realm of humanoid robotics, Figure 02 sets the gold standard, flanked by budget-friendly and emerging alternatives.
