2026 主流 AI 大模型怎麼選？GPT、Claude、Gemini、DeepSeek 全面解析

A Year of Blooming AI Models

2026 has seen a proliferation of AI large models, with more options available than ever before. In addition to the big three - ChatGPT (GPT), Claude, and Gemini - open-source and emerging models are also rapidly rising to prominence.

The Three Major Closed-Source Models

• GPT (OpenAI): The most comprehensive ecosystem with the most features, suitable for a wide range of tasks, and the first choice for many users.
• Claude (Anthropic): Praised for its long-form writing and programming capabilities, with a reputation for cautious and natural responses.
• Gemini (Google): Deeply integrated with the Google ecosystem, with strong multi-modal capabilities.

Open-Source and Emerging Forces

• DeepSeek: Notable for its high cost-performance ratio and strong reasoning capabilities, see DeepSeek.
• Qwen (Alibaba): Strong in Chinese language capabilities, with an open-source version available, see Qwen.
• Llama (Meta): A driving force behind the open-source wave, can be experienced through Meta AI.

How to Run These Models

To compare multiple models at once, use OpenRouter or Msty; to run open-source models locally, use Ollama or LM Studio.

Recommendations for Taiwanese Users

• General Use: The free versions of the big three closed-source models are more than sufficient, so choose one to get familiar with.
• Emphasis on Chinese: Compare Gemini, Qwen, and Claude.
• Emphasis on Cost/Privacy: Consider open-source models and local deployment.

Future Trends

The gap between closed-source and open-source models is narrowing, and models will become increasingly "good enough". The true differences will lie in price, integration, and localization.

Conclusion

Instead of chasing "which one is the strongest", it's better to choose a model that suits your purpose and is willing to delve deeper into it. For further reading: How to Choose Between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, The Rise of Open-Source AI Models.
