Ensemble routes each task to a current leader for that job. No single model wins everything — and the line-up shifts constantly, which is exactly why a neutral router exists.
| Task | Routed to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code, engineering & architecture | Claude | Production-grade code across large multi-file codebases, plus system design and architecture — routed to the strongest coding model. |
| Long writing & nuance | Claude / GPT | Best for tone, structure and editorial polish. |
| All-round chat & reasoning | GPT | Reliable generalist across mixed tasks. |
| Complex reasoning & long context | Gemini | Handles large documents and multi-step logic. |
| Image generation | ChatGPT Images / Gemini | Best for on-brand visuals and edits. |
| Video generation | Veo | Leading text-to-video quality. |
| Real-time & current events | Grok | Best for live, up-to-the-minute facts. |
