8 models compared · Data powered by Artificial Analysis
Ranked comparison of 8 AI models for writing tasks. Claude Opus 4.5 leads on quality (score 72), while Claude Haiku 4.5 provides the most affordable entry point.
The best AI models for writing need to understand tone, style, and context. They should produce natural-sounding prose that doesn't read like typical AI output. Quality scores above 50 generally indicate strong writing capability.
For professional content creation — blog posts, marketing copy, documentation — premium and mid-range models deliver the best results. Budget models can handle simpler tasks like email drafts and social media posts.
Consider your volume: if you're producing 10+ pieces per day, a budget model with post-editing may be more cost-effective than a premium model for everything.
