Multi-Model Checkpoint: Same Prompt, Three Models
Compare models empirically — run identical prompt, score outputs.
What You Will Learn
- Run identical prompt across 3 models.
- Score outputs objectively.
- Build a model comparison report.
- Identify per-task winners.
- Document findings for team.
Why This Matters
Reading about model differences is theoretical. Running the same prompt on 3 models and scoring is empirical. This checkpoint produces data, not opinion.
Concept Explained
Pick a real task. Run the identical prompt on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini. Score each output on: correctness, completeness, idiomaticity, cost. Document winner per dimension.
How It Works
Use the same prompt, same context, same attachments. Run on each model in separate threads. Score on a rubric. Document in a comparison report.
Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Pick a real task
Refactor, debug, explain — something you actually need.2. Write prompt
Specific, with constraints and expected output format.3. Run on 3 models
Separate threads, identical prompts.4. Score on rubric
Correctness (0–5), completeness (0–5), idiomaticity (0–5), cost (credits used).5. Document
Write a 1-page comparison report with winner per dimension.Real-World Example
A developer compared models on a complex refactor. GPT-5: correct but verbose. Claude: correct and elegant, caught an edge case. Gemini: faster but missed the edge case. Winner: Claude for refactors. Team adopted Claude for refactoring tasks.
Example Prompts / Commands / Code
Task: Refactor 80-line function into smaller functions
Prompt: [identical across all 3]
Model Correctness Completeness Idiomatic Cost Total
GPT-5 5/5 5/5 3/5 med 13
Claude 5/5 5/5 5/5 high 15 ← winner
Gemini 4/5 4/5 4/5 low 12
Notes:
- GPT-5: verbose; extra logging not requested.
- Claude: caught null edge case; clean functional style.
- Gemini: missed null case; 30% faster.
Recommendation: Use Claude for refactors. Use Gemini for quick refactors where speed matters and edge cases are unlikely.
Common Mistakes
- Different prompts per model — invalidates comparison.
- Vague rubric — scores are subjective.
- Only one task — not enough data.
- Not documenting — findings are lost.
Best Practices
- Use identical prompt across all models.
- Score on a clear rubric (0–5 per dimension).
- Run on 2–3 tasks for broader data.
- Document in a comparison report.
- Adopt winner per task type in team cheat sheet.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | How to Fix |
|---|---|
| Scores are tied | Add more dimensions: readability, test coverage, edge case handling. |
| Results contradict common wisdom | Trust your data. Common wisdom may be outdated. |
Practical Exercise
Your Turn
Pick a real refactor. Run the same prompt on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini. Score each. Write a 1-page comparison report.
Professional Challenge
Run the comparison on 3 task types (refactor, debug, explain). Identify per-task winners. Update your team's cheat sheet.
Key Takeaways
- Run identical prompts across models for empirical comparison.
- Score on rubric: correctness, completeness, idiomaticity, cost.
- Document in a comparison report.
- Identify per-task winners.
- Update team cheat sheet with findings.
