Strengths and weaknesses vs OpenAI, etc?

I think they are different models with different focus. Perplexity is a better search engine with more accurate and friendly results(can have attachments, and it can pull out "standard" code quickly). OpenAI and Gemini are better for content generation. Still more to learn and practice...

There is also a newcomer by Tiktok, coze.com/, said to be close to GPT4 but free and with larger token size. You can build bots(like GPTs) to perform tasks.

I started a new series about learning Rust. I wasn't expecting it to get much traction but it managed to earn a Rust badge!
