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 AI command generation is useful for complex one-liners I'd normally Google. The modern UI is controversial but the speed is undeniable — fastest terminal I've used.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

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

45/100 · skip

A fancy terminal is still a terminal. The AI features save a few Google searches but $18/mo for a terminal feels steep when iTerm2 is free.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

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

80/100 · ship

The terminal hasn't changed in 40 years. Warp is betting that AI makes the command line accessible to a new generation. Bold and necessary.
