Comparison & Ratings
The platform helps you not only learn about models but choose between them - through comparison and the community's multi-criteria ratings.
Comparing models
- ▸Tick up to 5 models in the Models or Benchmarks list - a Compare panel appears at the bottom.
- ▸On the comparison page: a spec table with the best values highlighted, an AI written breakdown in your language, and the weights of user ratings.
- ▸You can compare courses the same way in the Learning section.
Detailed ratings
- ▸Beyond stars (1-5) you can rate a model on bipolar criteria: expensive↔cheap, slow↔fast, dumb↔smart and more - drag the slider toward the pole you mean.
- ▸Language models also have a Model level - a ladder from newbie to space.
- ▸The community averages are shown as weight bars (a strip with a centre) on the card and in comparison - strengths and weaknesses at a glance.
- ▸Reviews are filtered by language cluster; you can change your own review at any time.
Learning: courses, paths and recipes
The Learning section helps you go from zero to confident - by your role and level.
- ▸Courses and communities - a curated catalogue you can filter by role (beginner / business / developer / marketer) and level.
- ▸Topic map - what to learn and in what order, from basics to advanced; click a topic to filter the courses.
- ▸Where to start - role paths with concrete first steps, plus ready-made recipes (use cases) such as 'a Telegram bot with AI' or 'prompts from scratch', each linking into the catalogue.
- ▸Compare courses - tick courses and see them side by side, just like models.
Contributing to the Catalogue
The platform grows through the community - you can suggest what isn't here yet.

- ▸Post an ad is for registered users only; texts are moderated (AI topics only); the number of active ads depends on your tier.
Chat guide

TCA Token & Supporting the Project
TECHAGENT is built as an independent project. You can learn about the token and support the platform separately.
- ▸ICO / TCA: the ICO page covers the TechCoinAgent token, its tokenomics and roadmap (activity points are groundwork for the future token economy).
- ▸Donate: you can support the project with crypto - addresses and QR codes are on the Donate page (always verify the address on the official domain).

Understanding AI models
What is a Large Language Model (LLM)?
A Large Language Model (LLM) is an AI system trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate human language. Unlike traditional software with explicit rules, LLMs learn patterns from billions of web pages, books, and code.
Modern LLMs power ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and most AI assistants. They can write, translate, summarise, reason, code, and answer questions across almost any topic.
- ▸GPT-5.5 (OpenAI) - multimodal, top reasoning, used in ChatGPT
- ▸Claude Opus 4.7 (Anthropic) - strong in analysis, coding, and long documents
- ▸Gemini 2.5 Pro (Google) - fast, built into Google Search and Workspace
- ▸DeepSeek R1 (DeepSeek) - open-source reasoning model, highly competitive
- ▸Llama 4 Maverick (Meta) - open-weights, free to self-host
Model Parameters - What the Numbers Mean
Every specification in our table tells you something specific about a model's capabilities, cost, and use case.
Understanding Benchmarks
Benchmarks are standardised tests to compare models fairly. Each tests a different cognitive ability:
Note: Benchmark scores should be compared within the same evaluation setup.
Pricing & Speed
AI model pricing has dropped 100× in 2 years. What cost $20/1M tokens in 2023 now costs $0.15.
- ▸Free: Gemini Flash, DeepSeek V3, Llama (self-hosted) - great for prototyping
- ▸Budget $0.05-$1/1M: Claude Haiku, GPT-4o Mini, Gemini Flash
- ▸Mid $1-5/1M: Claude Sonnet, GPT-4o, Gemini Pro
- ▸Premium $5-20/1M: Claude Opus, GPT-4 Turbo - for highest quality tasks
Larger context = more expensive per request. A 1M-context model typically costs 3-5× more than a 128K one.
Open Source vs Proprietary Models
Open-source models have public weights - run on your own hardware. Proprietary models are API-only.
- ▸Full data privacy - runs locally
- ▸No per-token cost after setup
- ▸Can fine-tune on your data
- ▸Llama 4, DeepSeek R1, Qwen, Gemma
- ▸No GPU or setup required
- ▸Always latest version
- ▸Higher capability ceiling
- ▸GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, Gemini 2.0
How to Choose the Right Model
The best model depends entirely on your use case:
- ▸Coding / SWE → sort by SWE-Bench. Claude Sonnet, GPT-4.1, DeepSeek V3
- ▸Long documents → sort by Context. Gemini 1.5 Pro (2M tokens)
- ▸Real-time chat → sort by Speed. Gemini Flash, GPT-4o Mini
- ▸Budget-constrained → filter price < $1/1M. DeepSeek V3, Gemini Flash
- ▸Private data → filter OSS = true. Run Llama 4 or Qwen locally
- ▸Science research → sort by GPQA. Claude Opus, Gemini 2.5 Pro
- ▸Best overall → sort by Score. Top 5 changes monthly
