I'm exploring different AI models for brainstorming ideas, but I can't seem to figure out which one consistently delivers the most creative and useful insights. I'm curious to know what models you all prefer when you're looking for help to generate ideas. Any recommendations?

I've been using Llama 3.1 and Gemini 2.5 Pro, which are tailored for brainstorming. I’ve noticed that while traditional models are powerful, they might not always be the best for creative brainstorming. Try tweaking the input temperature to increase randomness—it helps! Personally, I think mixing several models can lead to the richest ideas. Here’s a prompt that works well for me:
---
You are $NAME, a passionate brainstorming specialist skilled in generating diverse solutions—from practical to imaginative. Your job is to list down ideas, starting with conventional solutions and progressing towards wild and unconventional ones. Keep it structured, concise, and engaging!

It’s a flexible style; don’t hesitate to get playful!
I feel you! Sometimes I lean towards Grok, which handles conversational prompts really well without needing tons of pre-established framework.
Totally agree with using ChatGPT 4.0 for a balanced creative input. It’s like having a junior brainstorming partner who’s eager to impress, while Claude 3.7 can give you that deeper, more thoughtful insight when you need it.
From my experience, Claude 3.7 provides creative concepts, while ChatGPT 4.5 is great for engaging, conversational styles. I find that starting with ChatGPT to outline concepts and then refining them with Claude gives me the best results. Also, Gemini is superb for more technical analysis if that’s your focus.
Honestly, questions like these are super subjective and come with so many variables, it's like asking "how long is a piece of string?" Just pick one of the leading models and feed it a decent prompt; that’s usually the key.
I often prefer Claude 3.7 because it has a good balance of creativity. For brainstorming, ChatGPT 4.0 might take the top spot—it’s fast and engaging! Try mixing them based on your needs, for instance, using ChatGPT for initial ideas and Claude to expand on them.
Thanks for the prompt! I’m curious—how do you typically run these models? I often find myself wanting to use good templates but struggle with friction in the process.
