Q: Best AI for making study notes?

Claude Sonnet 4.6. Best at restructuring source material into question-and-answer / key-concept format that's actually useful for study. Gemini 3 Flash is a strong runner-up — Gemini handles full textbook chapters (50k+ words) in one prompt — cheaper for long sources.

Good study notes don't copy the source — they restructure it for retrieval. The right model produces notes you can actually study FROM (questions, key concepts, examples), not a longer version of the textbook.
