Does a pricier flagship mean better fiction? Identical stress tests across Claude Haiku 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and Gemini 3.8 Flash. Paragraph-by-paragraph prose teardowns and real revision economics.
No single model is best at every fiction task. Match candidates to outlining, drafting, dialogue, revision or continuity, then blind-test two or three on your own passage. Reusable prompt and worksheet included.
