Our Take

Gemini is the baseline in our evaluation framework, meaning prompts are written for it by default. Claude benefits significantly from XML restructuring, gaining 12% on quality scores. The practical takeaway: if you are already on Gemini, your prompts work as-is. Switching to Claude requires structural changes that Refrase handles automatically.
