I'm curious how this would compare with codex 5.3. I've heard Codex actually is pretty good but Opus 4.6 has become synonymous with AI coding because all the big names praise it. I haven't compared them against each other though so can't really draw a conclusion.
There are no universals. You have to try it on your particular codebase and see what works for you.
For me, OpenAI is ahead in intelligence, and Anthropic is ahead in alignment. I use both but for different tasks.
Given the pace of change, intuition is somewhat of a liability: what's true today may not be true tomorrow. You have to constantly keep an open mind and try new things.
