New Challengers Approaching: ChatGPT 4.5 and LLaMA 4 Enter AI Benchmark
In our last benchmarking round, we shifted gears to focus on practical, real-world features like task reminders, voice prompting, and speed, evaluating how AI assistants like Athena, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Deepseek v3 fit into daily workflows. Now, we’re shaking things up again by introducing two new contenders: ChatGPT 4.5, renowned for its deep analytical and emotional thinking, excelling in content writing, research, and LLaMA 4, a versatile model that shines in coding, reasoning, and image generation. Let’s see how these newcomers stack up against our previous lineup and what they bring to the table for professionals, creatives, and everyday users.
LLaMA 4 bursts onto the scene with a particular flair for image generation, scoring an impressive 4.5 in this category. It allows users to tweak image styles effortlessly—whether you’re aiming for a sleek modern look or a vintage vibe, LLaMA 4 delivers with precision. Beyond visuals, it’s a speed demon, tying with Gemini 2.5 Pro and Grok 3 at a speed score of 4, making it a snappy companion for tight deadlines. It also excels in LaTeX document creation , content creation , and diagram generation , making it a strong pick for academics and content creators. However, it stumbles slightly in website creation with a score of 3, lagging behind some of the more design-focused models in our test group.
ChatGPT 4.5, on the other hand, brings a different kind of magic. It’s a powerhouse in website creation (4.5), crafting polished, user-friendly designs that can rival professional outputs. It also ties with LLaMA 4 in LaTeX document creation (4.5) and performs admirably in content writing (4.5), research via web search (4), and product recommendations (4.5), showcasing its knack for deep analysis and emotionally resonant outputs. However, it’s not without flaws—image generation is a weak spot (N/A), with ChatGPT 4.5 often nudging users toward its predecessor, ChatGPT 4o, for visual tasks. Additionally, it lacks task reminder capabilities , an area where LLaMA 4 has a clear edge, leaving users wanting more in terms of organizational support.
Comparing all the models, each brings something unique to the table. Athena remains a jack-of-all-trades with consistent 4s across creative tasks and a stellar 4.5 in task reminders, paired with voice prompting support. Gemini 2.5 Pro and ChatGPT 4.5 dominate in website creation , respectively, while Deepseek v3 continues to impress with its web search prowess . LLaMA 4’s blend of speed, image generation, and LaTeX skills makes it a strong contender for technical and creative users, though its website creation needs work. Claude 3.7 Sonnet holds steady as an academic ally with perfect diagram generation (4), and Grok 3 remains a reliable, fast all-rounder. ChatGPT 4.5’s analytical depth is unmatched, but its lack of image generation and task reminders holds it back from true versatility.
In this crowded field, Athena still stands out as the ultimate AI assistant, weaving together every essential feature into a seamless experience. With top marks in creativity, structure, speed, and task management—plus voice prompting support—Athena doesn’t just keep up; it sets the pace. Whether you’re coding a project, designing a website, writing a report, or simply planning your day, Athena’s got you covered, proving that the best AI isn’t about excelling in one area—it’s about being your go-to partner in every field. From the boardroom to the art studio, Athena redefines what an AI assistant can do, making it the ideal choice for anyone who wants it all without compromise.
