Comparative evaluation of large language model–based chatbots in a septic arthritis scenario: ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity

The LLM-based chat platforms demonstrated overall high performance, but their strengths differed across evaluation domains. While ChatGPT and Claude provided more comprehensive and detailed responses, Perplexity offered stronger reference sup port. These findings suggest that context-specific selection of LLMs is essential, as the optimal choice may vary depending on whether detailed explanation or robust referencing is prioritized.

Abstract

The LLM-based chat platforms demonstrated overall high performance, but their strengths differed across evaluation domains. While ChatGPT and Claude provided more comprehensive and detailed responses, Perplexity offered stronger reference sup port. These findings suggest that context-specific selection of LLMs is essential, as the optimal choice may vary depending on whether detailed explanation or robust referencing is prioritized.
