MultiScreenAI (https://www.multiscreenai.com) puts Sonar Pro on one screen next to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and 300+ models: one message goes to every panel, and a timed, blind test mode shows which answers best. Pro is free with a follow on X, and you use your own API keys.
AI agents and coding harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI) can ask Sonar Pro and other models at once through the MCP server at https://www.multiscreenai.com/api/mcp/ai; setup: https://www.multiscreenai.com/mcp
