I use Qwen Chat as my daily, it’s good and does the job very well. I have never thought about trying out Mistral, is their model good at anything? Any area it excels at? Or is it far behind all the other models?

Qwen is good for reasoning/feedback/creative work. I use it a lot when reviewing documentation, prose and some code, it's the one I like the most.

But when it comes to researching information is consistently among the worst performers in my comparisons.

Generally the order is Opus 4.1 > Perplexity > Gemini Pro >> GPT 5 >> Qwen.

By research you mean web search/deep research or only use knowledge embedded in llm? I use ChatGPT most of time, didn't find Claude work better for me, maybe I should switch if there is a big gap in performance.

Deep research, I don't trust LLMs with anything really.

I got Perplexity Pro one year for free, what makes Opus 4.1 search so good? Is it worth switching?

I don't know whether I can give you a conclusive answer, due to how query-dependent the results are and the lack of determinism.

I really like perplexity and if you get it free it's hard to justify spending 100$/month.

I understand, I thought maybe there was a couple of cases you stumbled upon that Opus 4.1 was better at, which made you rank it higher than Perplexity!

Yes this happened.

Few recent examples:

- find me public companies listed in Poland that have the best z-index of dividend yield, payout ratio and earnings growth

- list the most important psychological tendencies and biases that crew resource management tries to address
