Claude vs Gemini
Long-document work: Claude or Gemini?
Judge them on your own worst document, not on a demo. Longer context only helps if the model does not quietly lose the middle of it.
Pick Claude when
The document is the whole task and the answer has to be defensible in writing.
Pick Gemini when
The document is one input among many and you already live in Google's workspace. Gemini's value here is proximity, not superiority.
