Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
