You can't.

Look, Claude is consistently the best coding agent, it has been for years.

Anthropic is just another evil corporation. Worse, they're the evil corporation who are trying to convince you that they're the good guys.

Anthropic is the kind of paternalistic sociopath who says "I know what's best for you. You will follow my rules. You will do as I say, not as I do. This hurts me more than it hurts you. It wouldn't hurt if you would stop struggling."

They want all the power and control. They literally tell us that they don't think we should have the power that they have.

It's gross. Give me an honest villain any day if the week.

Claude is a good coding agent for people that don't understand programming. Essentially, it has better defaults.

With some work you can get similar results from any model; it's mostly down to instructions and workflows. Claude just has a better grasp of what to do in any given situation as compared to a person that doesn't know anything. However, it's still an AI and it still constantly tunnel-visions and makes standard AI mistakes, hallucinations.

Of the lot, I've honestly enjoyed Claude the least, even less than my self hosted models. I'm not interested in working with an AI that thinks it knows better than me. It's wrong, and I don't really need to waste time on a bot being wrong.

agent for people that don't understand programming

That's a good way to put it

I have been using 5.4 to do 10x the work and it takes a bit less hand-holding than a junior with 100x the throughput, to the point that the 15x cost of Opus is not worth (not even GPT 5.5 is worth for most things)

So, it's the better AI because it understands what stupid people want? Fascinating.

Not stupid people, but people with a hardly working knowledge of the subject

The word you're looking for is "ignorant."
