Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.

80/100 · ship

The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.

80/100 · ship

Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.

80/100 · ship

Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.
