Our Verdict

Answers with citations you can click, which makes it the right default for research where being wrong carries a cost. The synthesis is shallower than a full chat model — it finds well, it does not think as hard.

Not for

Long-form writing or reasoning. It is a search engine that speaks, not a collaborator.
