For long-form content like reports, whitepapers, and ebooks, look for models with high max output tokens (16K+). Some models cap output at 4K tokens - fine for short copy, but limiting for long-form writing.
Large context windows (128K+) let you paste entire documents for editing, rewriting, or style-matching. This is critical for maintaining consistency across long projects.
Most modern AI models handle blog writing well. Focus on models with high quality scores and JSON mode support for structured content generation (headings, meta descriptions, FAQ schemas).
For fiction, poetry, and creative work, model "voice" matters more than benchmarks. Experiment with Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini - each has a distinct writing style. Larger models generally produce more nuanced prose.
