Use case
Comparing model answers with ClawAI
How ClawAI’s Compare and Judge modes run one prompt across several models side by side and have a judge model assess the results — grounded in the shipped feature, no invented rankings.

What Compare mode does
Compare mode sends one prompt to several models at once and shows the responses side by side, so a decision that matters — a judgment call, an ambiguous request, a case where one model’s framing might be wrong — gets more than one perspective. It is a plan-gated feature, metered per lane rather than per run, so cost scales with how many models you compare.
Consensus and best-of-N, explained properly
Two ideas describe what you do with several answers once you have them: consensus, where agreement across models is itself informative, and best-of-N, where you generate several candidates and pick or synthesize the strongest. See what is AI consensus and what is best-of-N, both linked below, for how each actually works rather than a marketing gloss.
Having a model judge the rest
Judge mode is a separate plan-gated feature that runs a second pass over a Compare run, with one model assessing the others rather than you reading every response by hand. Critic review is a related, separate feature for a second look at a single answer rather than a comparison across models — see what is an AI judge, linked below, for how the assessment actually works.
Questions people ask
- What is the difference between Compare mode and Judge mode?
- Compare mode runs one prompt across several models and shows every response side by side. Judge mode is a separate, plan-gated second pass that has a model assess the results of a Compare run instead of you reading each one.
- Does Compare mode cost more than an ordinary chat message?
- Compare usage is metered per lane, not per run — running the same prompt against more models costs proportionately more. Confirm the current allowance on the pricing page.
- What is best-of-N, and is it the same as consensus?
- No — consensus treats agreement across model answers as informative in itself, while best-of-N generates several candidates and picks or synthesizes the strongest. See what is AI consensus and what is best-of-N, both linked below.
Try it rather than take our word for it
ClawAI’s Compare and Judge modes are real, shipped, plan-gated features — one prompt across several models, with an optional second model to assess the results.
