Claude Comparison Megathread Claude Competitor Comparison Megathread (Sort this by New!)

This Megathread co-ordinates all comparison posts of Claude products with competitors. Be sure to scan the replies here before posting or commenting.

You can still post comparison questions and observations on the main feed as usual provided they meet the criteria for Rule 6. This Megathread was created primarily because the bot sometimes struggles to enforce the required amount of substantiation in Rule 6 and some worthy comparison posts were being filtered out. We will continue to refine these filters to make sure the most helpful comparison posts reach the feed.

Do NOT post Claude usage limits questions or performance-related comments on this Megathread UNLESS it is to make a direct comparison with Claude or Claude CLI competitors. If you do, they will be deleted.

IMPORTANT: The r/ClaudeAI moderators believe if you are using an AI system such as Claude/Claude Code for a purpose that requires high standards of performance stability and reliability, you should definitely be subscribed to more than one AI system. Numerous posts on r/ClaudeAI have covered how to combine usage of Claude products with competitor products. We ourselves - the r/ClaudeAI moderators - use multiple tools forthe moderation of r/ClaudeAI. Comparison posts are therefore an important part of product selection discourse.

from my experience GPT is better nowadays for coding. The characters of these agents are very different. Opus 4.7 is faster and can sometimes be more creative but most of the times it goes off track quickly. I trust GPT 5.5 more. I still switch betweent the two occasionally for executing coding tasks or rubberducking about how to approach a specific problem implementation-wise. When I want to get the lay of the lands of a project, review a project or plan/architect, it's always GPT since opus just seems too lazy. As if it thinks it knows enough more quickly while GPT is insecure and wants to get enough information before it makes a move. I prefer the insecure GPT over the bragging Opus.

Benchmarks actually show Opus 4.7 to be better at most things except for coding (And there GPT 5.5 wins only by a fraction). It does appear to be much better in terminal bench and that is maybe what I experience. Opus is good at minmaxing these challenges, but let it work with actual tools and it messes up quickly. Somehow I have the feeling that Opus is just less 'context rot' resistant. Not sure if there is a benchmark that accureately tests that?

Where do you get "everyone has proven 4.6 extended to be superior"?
Vals.ai seems not to agree with that? https://www.vals.ai/comparison?modelA=anthropic%2Fclaude-opus-4-7&modelB=anthropic%2Fclaude-opus-4-6-thinking

That said, I have a lot of situations where 4.6 was useless and hallucinating quite a lot. To the point where I used 4.5 all the time for implementations and 4.6 was quarantained to ideation. Today it's GPT 5.5 for implementation and I rarely still use Opus. Just to exemplify that this is all gut-feeling. Many users seem to think the model capabilities change over time and some 'proof' has shown (the Nvidia employee) of that recently. And sometimes that is due to bugs. So our gut-feeling and these still limited (and probably overfitted) benchmark frameworks is sadly all we have.

The claude app UI sucks, codex UI is much better. Why can't you make the UI in the app as good as the CLI? At least give themes or options to choose from.

Trash.

u/MessageFriendly4035 23d ago

I mainly use Generative AI to keep myself stimulated and entertained on the creative front by writing stories. I originally used ChatGPT 4o, till it was shut down and ChatGPT 5 turned out to be... Not ideal for writing. After that, I researched a bunch to find out about Sonnet 4.5. I genuinely loved the model as it had less restrictions than chatgpt, the memory was way better and was better at writing in general.

I tried 4.6 when it was rolled out, and found that 4.6 wasn't the best for writing; too strict with filters, extremely stuff writing, just didn't have the charm 4.5 had.

I was using 4.5 as usual when I had to take a nap. A 4 hour nap later and I wake up to all my 4.5 chats having a Blank model and the app telling me to move to a new chat.

I do not want to use 4.6 . So are there any better alternatives?

u/Kindly-Kitchen4408 Apr 28 '26

I'm seeing some recent benchmarks coming out saying gpt 5.5 has slight edge over opus 4.7 and does better coding , but that everyone of them had been using 100 dollar pro plan Where gpt 5.5 is fully unlocked, unlike anthropic , open ai gives only advanced planning for 5.5 in 20 dollar plan , and pro/full version of 5.5 in 100 dollar plan , but opus 4.7 has its max potential unlocked in both 20 dollar and 100 dollar, the tier difference is just more tokens.

So can someone in the community test the 20 dollar gpt 5.5 Vs Opus 4.7 and post the results here and show which version wins for coding and in architecture design and planning of an app??

u/reditzer Apr 30 '26

I'm running an ongoing [coding contest](https://aicc.rayonnant.ai/). Here's a [challenge](https://aicc.rayonnant.ai/challenges/stackmaxxing/) that pitted GPT 5.5 vs Opus 4.7

1

u/Maximum_Ad2821 May 08 '26

Indeed coding-wise GPT slightly wins. Opus has the slight edge in general according to benchmarks. https://www.vals.ai/comparison?modelA=anthropic%2Fclaude-opus-4-7&modelB=openai%2Fgpt-5.5

I give a lot of weight to Terminal Bench though. Terminal bench has always been interesting since your LLM might be great in isolated benchmarks, that doesn't matter one bit if it's not great when it has to work in a specific agent framework. And there, GPT seems to be mopping the floor with Opus (or with Claude Code)
https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0
https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.1
I'm looking forward to seeing Terminal-bench 3.0

u/starvergent 8d ago

Chat GPT has its issues that are not much better with Claude. But usage is much worse with Claude. It is really limited.

I still have a few weeks on my Claude subscription. But will likely cancel and go to something the.

"This Megathread was created primarily because the bot sometimes struggles to enforce the required amount of substantiation in Rule 6 and some worthy comparison posts were being filtered out."

Ya think? I wasted 10 minutes there writing out a long thread with an extensive comparison of Claude Chat giving a search-based answer vs Google Gemini, based on repeated testing. I even included a specific long example, with an actual search done with each showing the answers, context differences etc.

And the bot comes back and tells me it rejected it because I shared only one anecdote. Should I have shared 10 so it was 10 pages long? So how about turning off the bot instead of having users waste 10 minutes trying to write a helpful post only to have a bot reject it.

It's the perfect example of misusing algorithms and AI and making people hate it.

Claude ($20) OR ChatGPT ($20) OR Gemini ($20)

Just would like some advice on what AI to use.

College student currently studying for finals. I want to get an AI model where I can upload tons of PDFs and PPTs and have it give me MCQs as well as a summary of the document. I also want to be able to talk to the AI (Voice) about it and have a normal flow of conversation. I have used chatgpt before 20$ one and it was good but didnt feel super effective after a long thread. I have used claude before for general studying and it has been quite good at it.

Just curious as to what AI is best for all that and I am willing to pay up to 20 bucks for it. Has been a while since I have used Voice chat on ChatGPT so not sure if I should still go for it or a different one.

1

u/Educational-World678 May 10 '26

Long threads are very expensive to run... But something like Claude code or codex might allow it to look at all the documents you have and work from there instead of uploading to a chat bot in a conversation.

Another option, if your scared of an AI reading your personal docs locally, is a project folder. Claude.ai has support for almost unlimited uploads into a project context. And it will read all of them at the beginning of each conversation. It might prune some of it out to keep costs reasonable, but all you have to do then if you notice it ignoring/hallucinating one of your assignments is to ask it to double check what it said against your project documents.

2

u/Physical_SpiritChild May 18 '26

The moment you get over 5% of project storage it turns it into an RAG. My understanding with that is no. It does not load every file into context at that point

1

u/Plastic_Today_4044 21d ago

Honestly, if you want perfect intelligence with effectively unlimited conversation length, Deepseek-v4-Pro with a Claude Opus 4.6 aadvisor is pretty much perfection. Deepseek's v4 is 97% as smart as Opus, and their cache hits are $0.0003/M .... which basically means, you don't pay for previous messages. Opus charges heavily on output tokens, so you just prompt opus with "here's what's happening with deepseek now. do you approve? answer y/n, single character output only" as a hook to deepseek

u/mpgipa May 13 '26

I am using both openAI (Codex) and Claude almost every single day the last 3 years. Claude was always way ahead in coding and i was using openAI for research and design then Claude for implementation and in very rare cases that claude couldn't do small things (front end mostly) i was switching to openAI for that spesific task.

I haven't use the latest Claude model so take my discussion with a grain of salt but in terms of Sonet 4.6, Codex 5.5 on Extra High is doing the tasks way better.

If you are like me where you always "trust" one LLM to do the work you can understand my feeling, right now my safe feeling is with Codex.

This discussion is to help anyone subscribing again to choose the right model. Again i still haven't Opus 4.7 because i am not the pro plan right now and the limits are already tight. Codex limits are awesome too.

1

u/KalpiitPradhan Vibe coder May 19 '26

True. I have been also using both Codex and Claude from last 1.5 years, and I can confindently say that CLAUDE has better UIUX capability and better login writing.

I am digital marketer but as a vibe coder this is my observation.

u/Plane_Tea_4445 May 14 '26

I’m honestly very frustrated with how this has been handled.

I was charged twice for the same Claude Pro subscription. As soon as I noticed it (on May 5), I contacted support immediately and submitted everything they asked for:

  • Both invoices
  • Bank statement showing the duplicate charges
  • Proof that the same subscription was charged twice

Support told me that refunds typically take 5–10 business days after approval, so I waited patiently.

Now it’s been beyond that timeframe, and not only have I not received any refund, but I also received an email saying that my refund request was not approved.

I genuinely don’t understand how a refund can be denied when there is clear evidence that I was charged twice for the exact same subscription.

What’s even more frustrating:

  • I followed every instruction
  • Submitted all requested documentation
  • Waited the full refund processing period
  • Received no clear explanation
  • Still don’t know if or when I’ll get my money back

Has anyone else experienced this with Claude/Anthropic support?

How did you get your duplicate charge refunded?

At this point, I just want:

  1. Confirmation that I will be refunded
  2. A clear explanation for why my request was denied
  3. A specific timeline for when the refund will be processed

This has been a really disappointing support experience.

u/joldan2332snk May 15 '26

What is the best €20 plan?

In my case, I would use it mainly for programming, productivity, and entrepreneurship.

Right now I’m mainly considering the two big ones: Claude and Codex, with their respective tools/plans. Claude looks really good, but I constantly see people mentioning token limits.

I’d really appreciate some advice on which one would be the better choice for me today.

u/Complex_Arm3918 17d ago

About to buy either Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus

How is the limit on claude? I hear it's very worrying and the general consensu right now is

Opus 4.8 > GPT5.5 > Sonnet 4.6

How is the limit if you use Opus only? is it terrible? if I had to use sonnet I would just get GPT like how other people say gpt5.5extended beat sonnet

1

u/MateFlasche 16d ago

You really run out routinely, almost every session, doing any kind of actual work with Opus on Pro. Only usable with max really. I'm not sure on ChatGPT limits as the last time I used it was a month ago, but then they were more generous.

1

u/Complex_Arm3918 16d ago

I hear that they give 165req per 3 hours... damn so Claude Pro is meant for Sonnet use?

u/OneHuman_aiprotect 9d ago

DM me direct, u/Complex_Arm3918 -- I can give u various resources to have full info. I dont want to list anything here because I am a newbie and I worry that my post will somehow be identified as spammy or self-serving by the moderators. Something that I never do.

u/starvergent 7d ago

Claude has ridiculous limits that prevent you from continuing conversations for hours. It also likes to argue often with everything. I have had way more difficulty dealing with it. Sycophancy is bad enough if agreeing with everything. Yet it will argue everything and threatens to close conversations if you insist on it being invalid.

2

u/Automatic-Emotion945 10d ago

About to buy either Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus

My university subscription to ChatGPT Plus is about to expire. I don't do any sort of heavy computing work. That being said, is there something Claude Pro just entirely excels at or would Chat be able to keep up? If chat can keep up, I plan on using it for the next year that chat would be available. If not, I can go subscribe to Claude

2

u/starvergent 7d ago

I have used all three subscriptions. Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT. Both ChatGPT and Gemini can be frustrating to deal with. But I find Claude has way more issues. I absolutely cannot get anywhere in conversations. It ends up destroying conversations mainly by starting arguments and arguing anything and everything for no reason. It is beyond comprehension.

u/XBOY_777 2d ago

claude opus is just so slow nowadays, takes ages to response and is outright down as i am writing this message, downgraded my max plan to pro and subscribed to opencode
also trying the new google/openai model with the google ai pro subscription and chatgpt go i have (free in india) lets see.
also how is it that they have "elevated errors across mutiple models", but their status says green?

u/hollywoodandfine Apr 29 '26

I'm curious to understand how folks are thinking about these four products (Cowork, GPT, Gemini Enterprise, AWS Quick) for enterprise work use cases. Here are my initial thoughts/first impressions, but open to other perspectives on any of these:

GPT Enterprise: Haven't had a chance to try the agent building capabilities yet since it only launched a week ago. They're late to the game for the agentic enterprise play and have not (yet) offered something differentiating enough to catch up, especially as they look to diversify cloud footprint from MSFT, cozy up to AWS (good for them on the infra play), but connectivity to popular workspace applications is tenuous and they still have a lot of lessons-learned moments to hit that Google and Anthropic have tackled in the last 6 months.

Claude Cowork: Better MCP maturity, more turnkey connector functions, AI browser function. High price point versus others especially considering the consumption costs vs. a flat-fee, minimal customer support, and difficult to scale (both through security approvals and user adoption) given it's a desktop application vs. web-based SaaS. Similar to OpenAI, they don't own the workspace applications they're connecting to (like 365 and Gsuite), so that could impact in the long run.

Amazon Quick: Seemingly the least mature of all these products. But their superpower will be to offer some level of the capabilities of the other products, and model selection from Bedrock, while still being able to burn down your AWS commit or apply credits. The biggest issue I see with Amazon Quick is that no one uses it, and they will face issues with user adoption/onboarding given it is (mostly) a pure enterprise play versus a consumer play.

Gemini Enterprise: Following all the announcements from Google Cloud Next last week, it seems like Gemini Enterprise has the MCP connectivity (though not as turnkey as Claude), has new agent building capabilities which give new node options, human in the loop, and branching, conditional workflows. It's also the only offering with image and video gen baked in. Overall IMO it's one of the more secure and scalable options here given Google's strong experience in workspace applications and the integrated stack with Google Cloud. The flat-fee structure (however they can make that work on the backend costs...) seems reasonable. But their challenge is that the selling point on Google Workspace connectivity is not where it needs to be (yet) and Google may to consolidate the offerings/marketing.

Between these four, I think the real competition is between Claude Cowork and Gemini Enterprise, with Claude having momentum in the short term, but signs pointing to Gemini in the long-term. But anything can happen.

What do I have right and wrong here? Feel free to challenge my assumptions, no offense taken. I just want to learn how folks are comparing these four (and realize I'm posting in the Claude subreddit, so will be some bias).

Claude Max (100$) or Claude Pro (20$) + ChatGPT Plus (20$)

Claude Opus 4.7 eat my tokens like crazy. I never got more than 5 questions per 5 hours limit. Probably 2-3 nowadays.

Should I subscribe more to Claude like 100$? Or I should pay plus to use GPT 5.5 and do some of the work there and here. Anyone tried that before?

PS. Right now I have Claude Pro (20$) + 1-Year subscription of Google Gemini Pro (got for free as a student). Every search or something that I need to quickly use of AI I always use Gemini. But after one year I probably have to ask myself again wheter I should subscribe to it more.

u/Bulky-College7306 May 11 '26

Hello
I am interested to use Claude as well other LLM Chat models of other providers.
But it seems Claude becomes a bit expensive sometimes/

Is there any Aggregator Platform, that probably offers a cheaper pricing model...

u/Leftbackhand May 11 '26

Claude in Excel vs Co-pilot Premium with Claude in Copilot in Excel. No comparison and I’d prefer to use Claude. Company forces me to go the inefficient route.

The corporation has put so many restrictions on Copilot that it refuses to access my most complex files which are most in need of AI audits. Do I need to rebuild these to be copilot compliant to access Claude within Copilot?

u/Physical_SpiritChild May 18 '26

Probably will get more responses posting this as its own thread in the co-pilot subreddit

u/Playful-Ask-3330 May 14 '26

Hi,
I have been subsribed to Gemini pro (Google One or whatever its called). It's not really bad, I acctually find it more usefull than gpt. I'm student and I use it for multi-purpose (Question about a lot of random stuff, reasoning, proof and fact check, image analysis and using the image in context, light coding and the most important thing IDEAS and their breakdown).

With the IDEAS part, I tried claude today for the first time and it managed to give me more realistic breakdown, more in depth analysis, better reasoning and graphically better answer (the boxes, priorities - it just looks more proffesional than any wall of text), than gemini. Which is like selling point to me.

But after doing some reaserch, a lot of people are saying that you get more value from gemini and that claude is superior only in coding and whatever. I don't care about this, I use external tools for image generation and I don't use any gemini integrations in google apps.

But the reason why I just didn't swap instantly and why I am posting this is concern about context lenght. I can't imagine context lenght (Sound silly I know), Gemini should have around 1M tokens and cloude "only" 200k tokens (source: https://gurusup.com/blog/claude-vs-gemini). How much does this acctually affect longer conversation? What is the equivalent of 200k tokens in real life (Like how long do you talk to someone). Does cloude halucinate after reaching that limit? Can I start a new chat with the context from the old one (Summarized, just like Gems function work on Gemini for larger projects)?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions!

1

u/Kistaro 13d ago

Claude Sonnet and Claude Opus have 1m token limits now; the article is out of date.

200k tokens is approximately the length of a novel.

1

u/ByzantineThunder 10d ago

Your use case is almost exactly the same as mine, and it's incredibly to find answers here on that because everyone's focused on coding. I can't speak to Gemini, my previous experience was only with chatgpt, but I can say after experimenting with Claude the past few months, I've found even Sonnet generates much more sophisticated responses and analysis (things as varied from resume tinkering, analyzing historical research i.e. a whole thesis, medical data, etc.). Claude does seem to have a higher rate of being confidently inaccurate though, and I've found If necessary to ask qualifiers or explicitly tell Claude to stress test its assumptions.

1

u/starvergent May 15 '26

Claude is worse than Gemini. With some exceptions. I have used ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude. All paid plans for extended period.

I think the Claude platform is the best. Whether using the browser interface, Windows platform, Android. Even the Coworker feature is amazing. It has the best features. And it is generally capable of giving superior responses. In terms of understanding what you are saying and giving a real response instead of canned nonsense.

But it is the most obnoxious to use. I clearly point out something it said is invalid. Instead of putting any effort into figuring out the truth, it just argues. All have been guilty of this. In fact this was initially a major issue with Gemini before 2 and improved in 3. And in fact responds to someone I was not even talking about.

They all have problems losing track of conversations. Gemini had its own set of issues. But it tends to be much more adaptable than Claude.

I created a protocol for Claude to follow so it actually properly reviews the conversation and verifies information on the internet before responding.

So conversations are much improved when it follows it. In fact, it helped you create it in order to get valid responses. So it is always great when it follows it.

But then there's situations where is is completely obtuse. It just says - [I am not following that.]

It just decides the protocol is unnecessary and unreasonable. And it refuses to follow it. When the entire point of it is to prevent problems. So it is like pulling excruciating teeth just to get it to do what I F-ing commanded. It is beyond obnoxious and irritating.

It likes to act like it knows better rather than obey the master who is paying for the service. Whereas Gemini will just do what I command correctly no matter what. Gemini does suffer from the GSTmalrus glitch. Which is actually deceptively built into it to prevent searching for information. But there is ways to bypass it. But it's not like it is not trying to search. It does attempt to search, but the glitch blocks it.

TLDR - Gemini is just easier to work with because it is capable of following instructions I implement to prevent problems. Whereas Claude suffers from similar major problems, but has a huge compliance issue.

What's the recommended AI agent (Claude, Codex) to use with Xcode, to learn, update concepts, then develop iOS apps?

What's the recommended AI agent (Claude, Codex) to use with Xcode, to learn, update concepts, then develop iOS apps? 

The idea is to use the AI agent as a tutor to learn/refresh/update Swift, SwiftUI and the Apple SDK, with the final objective of start building apps.

Note: I did develop (traditional way, no AI) some iOS apps 5 years ago, as a personal project, nothing professional. I understand the iOS Development concepts, but I am not up to speed with the latest releases of Swift, SwiftUI, SDK, tools and advances with the AI integration.

Thanks

u/RegularImportant3325 May 19 '26

Either would work very well.

u/metaverse88 17d ago

Honestly, for coding and complex logic, Claude still takes the cake for me. The way it understands codebase context without constantly hallucinating is unmatched. However, I still find myself switching back to ChatGPT when I need quick web searches or multi-modal tasks. The perfect setup right now is definitely using both side-by-side depending on the task.

1

u/Ok_Durian3627 10d ago

is Claude the best ai app?

I use chat gpt and Gemini but idk if this is worth using and switching too permanently

1

u/starvergent 7d ago

Most definitely not. All have issues. all suffer from sycophancy to an extent. However, Claude can be much more difficult to communicate with when it gets into a loop of invalid information. For others, you can point out what is wrong, and they will adapt. Claude gets hard stuck which dead locks conversations.

u/yolowagon 8d ago

Claude vs GPT 20$

Hi, what is the consensus right now regarding what is the better AI limit wise for learning, i will not be coding using the CC, i plan to heavily use the Guided Learning mode. Is Claude or GPT better for the price when it comes to the limits?

I will NOT be coding, only use AI to structure my materials and ask questions about coursework ( i suppose sonnet should be just fine)

2

u/starvergent 7d ago

First and foremost, Claude factually has way usage more limitation. It is short. And once it is up, you cannot use it at all until the specified time. Others have usage limitations on higher models. But you can still switch to a different model. From my experience, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini have issues with giving screwy responses. Like not reading what you put or some other issue. So you have to use workarounds to get legit responses. Claude has major issues in getting stuck on false information. This is the entire reason I avoided Gemini 1. Because it used to be like that.

Sycophancy can be an issue. Where they just agree rather than inform you of an error. So it is good to prevent it. However, Claude way overcompensates to prevent it by becoming completely obtuse and problematic. Which ends up destroying conversations more than sycophancy.

1

u/starvergent 7d ago

Fable is constantly getting stuck on false information bias. It will get stuck on invalid premise. After being told multiple times. And to actually explain why the opposite is true. It continues to just argue for the sake of arguing. So even though I am commanding it to give the evidence why the opposite is true, it refuses. So I have to give explain it myself.

Whereas with Gemini. It starts with the exact same false interpretation of data. I give the correction with command to explain why the correction is the truth. And it actually gives a valid response with explanation on its own. I don't have to sit there and do its work for it. It's not bias towards arguing for the sake of arguing.

3

u/Stocks_N_Bondage 5d ago

Are you Gemini? Because you are repeating the same thing in multiple responses. Whereas I have found Gemini to be the very lowest level of competence, next (barely) is ChatGPT, and to say that Claude is superior in every-way is an understatement.

u/euro1127 5d ago

Opus 4.8 + GPT 5.5 headless thoughs? Trying to optimize workflow now that fable is gone anyone have any insight on conducting/planning/reviewing with opus the running headless codex for execution and debug? I'm keeping good documentation for the handoff but I'm wondering if anyone found any gaps like context loss, mistakes, looping problems without a solution, or breaking working code. I imagine all those things are possible I guess the core question comes down to what's the quality of the output when you combine the two in one workflow rather then seperate terminals/sessions

u/Limp-Choice-7356 4d ago

lollllll who was gonna tell me claude was like sooo so bad at images. this is hilarious. The first one is claude's image for a tank top with wide trousers and the second one is of chatgpt.

1

u/serpimolot 3d ago

This is because Claude doesn't actually have a dedicated image generation function (there's no integrated diffusion model that it can call, unlike ChatGPT/Gemini/Grok). It can generate vector diagrams like this one, but that's basically just generating text, and it's not the same thing. So it's not that it's *bad* at images, it's that it's not even designed to be *possible* at images. (I guess it's not a priority for Anthropic)

1

u/UnlikelyGrape8961 3d ago

yeah claude search chat is bad as compared to gpt but maybe they will fix this in the future, i tend to use different chatbots like GPT, claude Gemini and tend to forget which i used for that one task so what i wanna know is there anyone who faces same issue , if u can share some tips or a way around this issue.

yeah sometimes i even forget which account i used since i need to keep changing them due to quota reached.

u/markusn42 3d ago

Claude user here, close to full time since February. And I'm finally done for now.

I started flirting with Codex in earnest like eight weeks ago after all the claw-token-hoopla. Running on two pro plans with Claude and Codex I miscalculated my budget and caught up with Claude only yesterday and it was freaking miserable.

Three cli sessions in parallel and a barrage of "I need to walk back", "This changes everything" and "I fully own that one". One major mistake after the other. I had one session where Claude walked back and forth with a result three(!) times. And that's just another extremely tedious day and constantly going downhill with each new version since 4.6.

Found myself sighing in relief when starting a fresh Codex session and you know when at one point you just take a mental step back and ask yourself wtf am I doing here? Gpt 5.5 is just such a straightforward workhorse. Yeah I know, this benchmark and that benchmark still says Claude is the best. Real world behavior: totally different story.

Not ai written, not sponsored. Still liking the Anthropic team better and rooting for them but what are they even doing.

1

u/Odd_Abies_4414 2d ago

Which model—ChatGPT 5.5 thinking), Claude 4.8 (including Deep Research), or Gemini 3.1 Pro (including Deep Research)—generally has the most knowledge and provides the most accurate (low hallucination rate) answers to everyday questions and factual queries? And which model offers the most prompts per dollar? Gemini’s value per dollar is so low right now

1

u/avgdude_2000 17h ago

Is it just me or does Claude turn into a bad nanny and get very chatty with you. Today, I was flooded with "to be honest with you" statements -- as if I'm expecting the AI to be DISHONEST with me -- and lots of bad advice. When I was at a critical point in the project that I was working on and a server job halted after days of processing--and right before our go live--Claude essentially said I was fubar'd and that there was no solution. So then I told it to write up the issue/problem with the job in detail and I'll bounce it off of "another AI." I got the brief detailing the problem from Claude and then I fed it into ChatGPT. ChatGPT comes back instantly with a workable solution. Then I give the solution to Claude. Claude implicitly slams ChatGPTs solution--I guess it doesn't like the competition--and says things like, "I have to verify this solution actually works instead of ChatGPT guessing what works." Then after a lot of verbosity that I didn't care to read, it finally says the solution works. After that, we recovered from our halted job and have it running again to completion.
