Question: AI Stacking

A user, new to AI and primarily using ChatGPT (Plus) for general tasks, is seeking advice on building an "AI Stack." Overwhelmed by available information, they are interested in combining different LLMs like Claude, Gemini, Deepseek, and Grok, acknowledging each has unique strengths. They are looking for unbiased, experienced user recommendations for a good starting AI stack, with funding not being an issue, but are unwilling to overspend on unnecessary capabilities. Local LLMs are not an option due to hardware limitations.

This post moves beyond single-LLM use by asking for advice on combining Claude, Gemini, Deepseek, and Grok into an "AI stack," unlike typical beginner queries focused on one model.
