Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
