Pick the Right LLM with Parallel Prompting


'The new workflow for me is I think with AI and work with my colleagues.' - Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft

Hello Reader,

LLMs are changing fast. What worked well last week might be garbage to use today.

If you're still using just one AI model for everything, it's like playing a round of golf with just one club. You need to be able to select the best tool for the job.

This 3-minute tutorial shows you how to test multiple LLMs—side-by-side, in real time—so you can instantly see which one's best for your task right now:

🎥 Watch: Best Way to Compare LLMs in 2025

You’ll learn:

  • How to run the same prompt through 3–5 models at once
  • What to look for in their responses
  • Why you should be auditioning your AIs weekly

The best AI operators aren't the most technically proficient, but they are the most adaptable. The tools keep changing, so we need systems that flex by constantly evaluating new tools, with feedback loops filled with the meta-skill of learning how to learn.

LLMs are changing so fast, we must dynamically adapt to keep up.

Which one is best today? Only testing will tell. Test your favourite LLM against other options, because the tools are always changing.

The apps on your phone are updating all the time. Compare your phone now to your phone 3 years ago. You ever pick up an old phone? The interface is off, the functions aren't where you want them to be - we have to get used to these changes, or we stagnate.

If you're using GenAI as a partner, you're doing one of three things: Thinking, Making, or Doing.

One LLM is going to be better at helping you think, while another will be better at making things, and a third can excel at getting things done.

👉 Stop hoping you picked the right tool. Start testing instead.

🎭 "It prepares you vastly better for the future to think of models as cartoon characters of arbitrary and growing intelligence living in the cloud than it does to think of them as software or tools." - roon Hello Reader, There's been lots of releases in July 2026.
