# Evaluate Model: LLM Landscape - March 2026 Update: GPT-5.x, Claude 4.x, Gemini 3.x, Llama 4
## What This Is
As of early 2026, leading AI models like GPT-5, Claude 4, and Gemini 3 have been updated with enhanced capabilities. Each model excels in different areas: GPT for general use, Gemini for handling large data and Google integration, Claude for complex reasoning and coding, and Llama as a powerful open-source option.

## Before You Start
Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and current AI integrations
- Existing AI provider config (check .env, .env.local, config files for API keys — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, etc.)
- Which AI models I currently use and for what purposes
Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Am I interested in evaluating this model for my project, or just want a summary of what it offers?
2. If I want to try it — which part of my current AI stack should it replace or complement?

## What to Implement
This is a **New AI Model** — a model release, update, or capability announcement.
- Analyze the best use cases for this model within my project and current AI stack
- Compare its strengths, pricing, and context window against whatever I currently use
- Give me a clear, convincing argument for why this model would (or would not) be a good fit for my project
- If I want to try it: update my API configuration (provider, model ID, any new parameters) to point to this model
- If it requires a new API key or provider signup, tell me exactly what to do
## Additional Context
- Scan the user's current project files and agent configuration to identify the primary goal (e.g., code generation, data analysis, long-form content creation). Recommend the most suitable 2026 model family from the list (GPT-5.x, Claude 4.x, Gemini 3.x, Llama 4), explaining the reasoning based on its specific strengths.
- Generate a comparative cost-performance analysis table for the top 2 recommended models. Pull current API pricing information and contrast it with the benchmark strengths and context window sizes mentioned in the report to help the user make a decision.
- If the user selects a new model, update their agent's configuration file (e.g., `claude.json`, `.env`, or a central API client script). Check for an existing provider API key in the user's environment variables. If a key for the new provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) is not found, prompt the user to add it.
## Guidelines
- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Use whichever AI provider I already have configured; if I need a new one, tell me what to sign up for and I'll give you the key
- Check my .env files for existing API keys (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI) before asking me to add one
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it
