A breakdown of the models you asked about.
Known for its nuance, safety, and impressive coding capabilities. The "Sonnet" model hits a sweet spot for price/performance.
The latest from Alibaba. Strong performance in math and reasoning, often outperforming larger models in specific benchmarks.
The "Strawberry" series. Focuses heavily on chain-of-thought reasoning before answering, excelling in complex logic.
Google's champion of context. With a massive 1M+ token context window, it remembers more than almost anything else.
An open-weight powerhouse. Offers excellent coding and math performance at a highly competitive cost structure.
For your use case—building a basic website as a proof-of-concept—Claude 3.5 Sonnet is currently widely regarded as the best balance of HTML/CSS structure knowledge and visual design capability. It tends to write cleaner CSS classes than most others.
However, Deepseek and Qwen are catching up extremely fast and often offer higher token limits for the same price, allowing for larger file generation in a single prompt.
Stick with Claude 3.5 for now if you want the best "design eye" for front-end code. Switch to Deepseek or Qwen for backend logic or when you need to process massive amounts of text/data cheaply.
