Poll: Did Anthropic win the AI coding race?
by•
Last week, @Gemini 3. Today, @Claude by Anthropic Opus 4.5.
Embraced by the community on X, did Anthropic win the AI coding race?
Opus is on a different level. It's unreasonably good at @Next.js and the best model we've tried on @v0 by Vercel to date.

It is good!
right?!
They are definitely P1 right now!
Built this https://eat-ai.app/ using @Claude by Anthropic and most of this was in the past 48 hours, I think the race is still going strong, do you see and end to this race eventually @fmerian ?
@dushyantgarg my $.02: just the beginning 🍿

For a while, rather yes than no.
Fair to say, it all changes every week - and this is fascinating! Any statement that's true today can become false in a week or two. I don't remember experiencing such rapid technological change and growth before.
@mokosiy exactly! awesome times ahead
I think this race to newer better AI models is a short game, there is going to be newer architectures coming out every day. What I have seen is enterprises generally want to migrate and test on multiple models so a nice piece of engineering be a proxy server for these ai models - kind of a gateway. What is your opinion?
At the moment Claude is also my go to solution for coding - but googles new gemini model is strong - and they are faster than anthrophic...
@schemalyzer what would make you switch?
@fmerian
Better Coding Results AND Better CLI - with hooks, subagents etc. Claude Code has build a awesome CLI. Also if Codex or Gemini might be similar in coding today (There is still a shift - and Opus 4.5 has released today - so this would still be some time to catch up for Gemini & co) the CLI isnt.
What is your goto Coding Setup?
@schemalyzer I am using Claude Code for three months and think it is good. Are there any typical examples where Claude can't do something or doesn't do it well, but Gemini is clearly more powerful?
I’m starting to consider moving over to Gemini 3. The UX isn’t fully refined yet, but it’s improving fast and honestly, it feels like it’s going to catch up sooner than people expect.
genuinely curious what would make you switch to Gemini 3? better, faster outputs?
Yes, even compared to sonnet Gemini 3 was not good at planning ahead with the context of your app.
yep @Claude by Anthropic is leading the way

@andresolarte interesting! curious how you manage both: do you switch to @Gemini when you're unsatisfied with the outputs from @Claude by Anthropic or do you first assess the level of difficulty and pick the model accordingly?
I agree that Claude is leading but the very fact that all 3 major players (and 4 counting DeepSeek 3.2) releasing so close to each other shows it's a marathon with many lead changes rather than one company claiming absolute mic drop dominance. The way when one releases a new winner the others jump on board and a few days later take the lead again shows they're sitting on new models ensuring they've got something up their sleeve when needed.
spot on!
I'd feel foolish to call a winner in anything AI ... It's still very, very early. That said, I think Claude is likely #1 right now, maybe tied with amp code. We regularly try the other tools from the big model companies and thus far, I keep coming back. Also, I think the model focus is misguided. Sure, Opus 4.5 is a fantastic model, but so is Gemini-3 Pro and gpt-5. I don't think Claude Code is winning primarily because of their models (though it is a factor, for sure), but because of the tooling they built around it.
definitely. just the beginning 🍿
