Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
