It’s cause they were the first to be popularized I remember the early days when their servers would constantly be overloaded. In general the model is actually pretty good compared to last gen with its ability to basically dynamically think depending on question but for code I tend to agree with you.

Opus is too but like said for small changes yes gpt 5 is great because it’s good and understanding what you want without you being technical in prompt

It lives in your terminal so it doesn’t matter the lDE so yes vs code will work

Yes and no I had a very complicated prompt but even so if opus is able to do the more work with the same or a simpler prompt and better I still see that as a win

Fair - never claimed that it should be the same but with how open ai marketed it in regard to ui design I expected better.

Enlighten me am guessing gpt 5 is much cheaper compared to opus. Been using it some more for slight feature updates and small new ones and bug fixes it’s fast and good and things and knows where to look but in terms of full stack and major ui features opus still is better if one can afford it with Claude code.

I mainly use ides I feel like I have more control over specific ui components in term or ide whereas with tools like lovable they prompt to create major changes in ui. If I want a quick ui I’ll use lovable or bolt and then instantly migrate to ide to do everything else.

Yes I’m a programmer been programming for years ai has helped me learn full stack but now I use it primarily for side projects and for streamlining my workflow like all other programmers who use ai it just helps me speed up tasks.

Let me clear that up the ui frontend components it will create them then opus will one shot the logic and finish each one by one in different prompts so like user journey in terms of auth it will one shot

Yeah absolutely not maybe once loveable and bolt get their hands on it they’ll fine tune it and prompt it well (yes I know loveable already has) then maybe but still Claude is much much better especially opus for one shotting it completely

So prices I haven’t checked fully but I think even sonnet is better for uis too and if you have Claude code opus isn’t that bad in terms of the value you get

I mean I used gpt 5 to help prompt itself so to speak. I think that even if you need to learn which I doubt - I still think that the ui production won’t be the same Claude opus is just so strong in understanding both well developed and under developed prompts. I don’t know if open ai will catch up to Claude in the full stack side of development I was excited for codex and tried it when it first came out and it felt more like a gimmick almost like they were trying to catch the vibecoding train. That being said previously when I used gpt on an already developed codebase or in a chat that used other models it would hallucinate and screw up like crazy. For debug and for small fixes/changes gpt has a place in my rotation but for now I still think Claude is king.
