Battle of the AI Models: Which One is Best for Agents?

I’m deep in testing O3-Mini, GPT-4o, DeepSeek-R1, and DeepSeek-V3 to figure out which model is truly the best for AI agents.

To find the winner, I’m stress-testing them against the most common tasks agents need to handle:

🧠 Instruction Overload: Can it handle rule-heavy tasks without getting confused or hallucinating?
🛠️ Tool Call Hell: Can it handle 5 consecutive tool calls, feeding results from one into the next without breaking?
🔍 Needle in a Haystack: Can it retrieve precise information from large datasets while staying contextually aware?

So far, one model is dominating—and I’ll be switching all of my agents over to it going forward.

I’ll share the full results (and the winning model) in my upcoming video—recording tomorrow, dropping Thursday! Stay tuned.

Which model do you think will win? Drop your guesses below! 👇

I think Deepseek R1 is great. But I think the O3 mini & Deepseek R1 will have a tough fight. I'm eagerly waiting for your video. It will be fun to see.

I can't wait! But I believe that would be o3 because it is supporting function calling.

O3?

I've not lived into this closely but are all of these a tier above Claude Sonnet or could it be a contender?

Haven’t tested them all so extensively to come with a conclusion just yet, but results of o3-mini impressed me these days. I am looking forward to seeing your methodology and results.
