I was honestly wondering if Claude was going to jump ahead with 5.1 being kind of lackluster. but then 5.2 made a huge leap ahead of opus. and obviously gemini is still way behind both of those

It's a hilarious/brutal market. There's effectively no lock-in, so I just switch between whoever is good right now. Think they're the current winner, I never need to switch bots because it can't do something. In 4 the python became passable, now in 5.2 it's really good. I never bother coding "by hand" any more.

One of the things I've found most frustrating is that when you're telling it to fix an error (which is annoying enough), it will often change (and break) other things that aren't at issue and were working just fine. It will even do that sometimes when you specifically tell it not to touch anything else.

lol yeah no wonder. you are using it to code assembly language. its really good at the popular languages. python is probably its best. also you can't always just give it some abstract prompt and expect it to guess the "right" implementation you have in mind. you need to be feeding it real concrete evidence from outputs etc.

its much better than opus 4.5. opus 4.5 just comes up with all of this stuff that literally doesn't matter. like give it something thats broken and it will give you 100 edge cases that matter in 1 in a billion situations and tell you to fix them. gpt 5.2 gives you useful stuff every time. opus 4.5 can be ok though if you have gpt 5.2 to keep it in check but still nowhere even close to as good at coding and math as gpt 5.2. also gpt 5.2 is much more conservative about conclusions. opus 4.5 will be super super certain about an answer when its just guessing. the guess might be correct like 1 in 5 times but the times its hallucinating add up. there are probably things opus is better at like writing and business intelligence. but im 100% sure gpt 5.2 is substantially better at coding and math because the gap is big.

yeah turns out my intuition was correct. even though claude slightly edges out gpt 5.2 on the SWE i think by .8%, GPT scores SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER on abstract reasoning benchmarks (54.2% vs. 37.6%) for Opus 4.5 making it better at generalizing to solve problems outside its training data. and also Blocker-Severity Vulnerabilities: GPT 5.2 High achieved a best-in-class security posture with only 16 blocker vulnerabilities per million lines of code (MLOC).

Claude Comparison: By contrast, Claude Opus 4.5 Thinking generated 44 blockers per MLOC—nearly 3x as many—while Claude Sonnet 4.5 registered a high of 198 blockers. In deep-reasoning evaluations, GPT 5.2 has demonstrated a significant lead in identifying "blocker-severity" issues:

GPT 5.2: Identified 13 out of 15 critical system-level errors (such as subtle race conditions and complex handler registration bugs).

Claude Opus 4.5: Identified only 5 out of 15 of these same high-level architectural errors, often missing the deeper root causes despite fixing the surface-level bugs.

Also GPT 5.2 scores significantly higher on a newer version of the SWE called SWE pro which is less python centric. 55.6% for 5.2 with 43.3 for Claude.

to me the generalized reasoning capability is the most important part. in terms of more specific "use case" stuff its just about being clever enough to make the model give you useful outputs and clever ways to cross-check and verify without putting in too much effort

I want an AGI level superhuman general reasoning machine. Not a leading expert in x gay field

It changes on a weekly basis lately

Opus 4.5 was kicking everyone's ass since December to the point it became personally ranked #1 for the first time ever, but only for a few weeks. Anthropic must be selectively throttling max subs because some days it's noticeably weaker. On Sunday nights it is so much smarter and better at outputs and handling large contexts that it feels like a different AI

Gpt 5.2 needs more conscious prompting to extract the desired output and its responses are dense and less legible; but there is no question that it bitch slaps opus 4.5 on more complicated reasoning tasks as of THIS WEEK

Next week might be a different story

this makes it sound like you think reasoning tasks themselves change in difficulty from week to week, but maybe you just were lazy about what you wrote? The thing that changes is that the next model claude releases could be better than 5.2. I guess what you mean is that Opus 5 might be better than gpt 5.2 which I agree with.

I have a multi-model validation process that's a ghetto version of mainlining's mahchine. It's the same exact prompts that I'm comparing outputs from. There was a brief period that 4.5 still outperformed 5.2 (and Sunday nights)

You are confusing different output from the same prompt as the model changing from week to week. The outputs are not going to be the same every time. Outputs are stochastic. The model itself is the same until they release an update.
