Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
