Which LLM is best for beginners?

Which LLM (Large Language Model) is the best for beginners? I asked ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and Perplexity what they thought.
I used the following prompt with each service:

“Compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of all the major LLMs available to the average beginner user, including Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (and any others you think are useful or beneficial to beginners), and create a chart with columns for Rank, Name, Best use case, strengths and weaknesses, and rank from most useful for beginners to least.”
Below are the results from each model.

ChatGPT (4o) (It’s not surprising that ChatGPT was first on this list.)

Grok 4 (I was suprised at where Grok, ranked itself.)

Claude (Sonnet 4)

Perplexity (Pro) This required a bit of work to recreate the table as the original was useless

Summary

It is fairly clear that all LLMs consider ChatGPT to be the most beginner-friendly among the group. I strongly suggest starting with ChatGPT, but once you’ve become comfortable with it, please also try the others. I like working with Grok, even though it’s ranked lower, especially for making memes for personal use.

I hope you found the post helpful or useful. Please let me know if you have other topics (for beginners) that you would like me to write about.
