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.

🏎️ “AI agents don’t have a speed limit, but the person managing them still does.” - Kieran Klaasen Hello Reader, The fastest way to build a disappointing AI agent is to begin with a vague, grand ambition. “Handle my marketing for me.” “Run all our customer service.” “Become my chief of staff.” Those are only aspirations, not workflows. An agent cannot reliably operate within a fog bank. A useful agent starts with clear goals: Turn this meeting transcript into decisions, owners, deadlines, and...

📊 “Context engineering is the strategic process of selecting, packaging, and managing the most relevant information for each step.” - Antonio Gullí Hello Reader, In July 2025, Gartner told AI leaders that “context engineering is in, and prompt engineering is out.” The past year, people on the bleeding edge of AI have been paying attention to framing. 💡 Context engineering prepares everything prior to the prompt. Even the best prompts will fail without the right context. Giving AI backstory...

🗂️ "An AI Agent runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal." - Simon Willison Hello Reader, Generative AI makes things for you. Agentic AI does things for you. This distinction, between making and doing, is the next step on the exponential curve of capability. An AI Agent can initiate and execute tasks independently, finding the best way to transition from an initial state to a goal state by using any tools it has available, as often as it is capable of doing. In his excellent primer on AI...
