Task-specific scoring for customer support workloads across 5 dimensions.
| Dimension | Claude Sonnet 4.5 | DeepSeek V3 | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Empathy & Tone | Natural empathy with appropriate acknowledgment of frustration before moving to solutions. Adapts tone between casual and professional. | Polite and functional responses but can feel formulaic in emotionally charged interactions. | |
| Issue Resolution | Structured diagnostic flows with clear, actionable steps. Anticipates follow-up questions proactively. | Direct solutions efficiently for straightforward troubleshooting. Less effective on complex multi-step workflows. | |
| Escalation Detection | Reliably identifies signals needing human intervention, including legal threats and emotional distress. Errs on caution. | Catches explicit escalation signals but can miss subtle cues like growing frustration over multiple exchanges. | |
| Knowledge Accuracy | High factual accuracy with low hallucination rates. Clearly states limitations rather than fabricating answers. | Generally accurate for well-documented topics but has higher tendency to generate confident-sounding subtle inaccuracies. | |
| Response Speed | Well-structured responses but takes slightly longer due to more deliberate reasoning. | Fast inference times suitable for high-volume ticket triage and real-time chat. |
