Not a quality ranking

ChatGPT alternatives in the chat section

Every other chat assistant in the batch. No score, so none is a "better" substitute.

The search for a ChatGPT alternative is not answered by a ranking we invent before measuring. This page lists the rest of the chat section: global models, open Arabic models such as Jais, ALLaM, and Fanar, and tools where we found no Arabic claim. Open a page to read the source text. The ready comparisons with Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek say plainly there is no winner. When scores exist this list will be rebuilt from them and the change will be dated.
