Here are some of the most important findings. Download the full guide for complete analysis, action steps, and checklists.
Multi-Platform Strategy Outperforms Any Single Tool
The most effective AI workflow combines Gemini's fast one-shot prototyping (under 5 minutes), Claude Code's refinement capabilities, and OpenAI's Codex for security analysis. Different tools excel at different tasks and catch issues others miss.
Standardized Three-Tier Pricing Across All Platforms
All major AI platforms follow a consistent model: free tier for basic access, $20/month pro tier for current models with reasonable limits, and $200/month max tier for latest models first with highest usage limits.
Agent Swarms Enable 3 Weeks of Work in 2 Hours
Next-generation models enable agent swarms that assign 20 different tasks simultaneously to different AI agents, completing what would take three weeks of human work in two hours or less with built-in orchestration.
40% Speed Improvement in Latest Models
OpenAI delivered a 40% speed improvement to GPT 5.2 with Thinking model, reducing response times from 10-15 minutes to noticeably faster speeds, with similar optimizations expected across all major providers.
