How model families differ

Every family — a line of models built the same way, just scaled up or down — trades along the same handful of axes. No model wins all of them; the fit depends entirely on what you're about to ask it to do.

Pick a task — the fitting family lights up

Family Abetter fit

Compact & fast

Family Bbetter fit

Large & broad

Durability note: the five axes are permanent — which family sits where on them changes every few months, so this page ranks patterns, not products.

So what

Don't ask "which model is best." Ask which axis your task actually needs, then pick the family that wins on that one.
