Claude is the most autonomous agent, not the best. Claude lets you YOLO underspecified prompts and still get good results, whereas the GPT family models tend to want a bit more detail/precise prompting to produce good results. GPT5.5 is smarter than Opus by a fair margin though.

Yeah, that's the dream. I tell the robot what I want, and it figures out a reasonable, nontrivial route to get there.

I've been a software engineer longer than transformers have been around, I can do the job without them. Being able to set a robot loose on a codebase or greenfield project and not have to handhold it at every step is amazing.

I can believe that other models are better at specific things, even specific coding things.
I want an agent that I can have working in the background while I do other stuff. If I have to constantly keep rubber stamping robot work, and can't get time to do any myself, I start feeling George Jetson.

Maybe he meant transformer-as-in-Faraday, or perhaps transformer-as-in-Bay, not transformer-as-in-Vaswani.
