Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
