you are looking at javascript that is trying to interpret the url slug that you typed in, you are seeing what you typed in being repeated back to you. like this is web dev 101 shit. if you go to this url you'll see the same pattern, but i'm gonna guess we ain't getting free chicken and fries tomorrow either - https://www.anthropic.com/news/free-chicken-wings-and-fries-for-everyone More on reddit.com

Claude 4.5 Sonnet : Bye bye Software Devs | by Mehul Gupta | Data Science in Your Pocket | Medium
September 30, 2025 - Sonnet 4.5 nails this. On OSWorld, the benchmark that tests computer-use, it now leads at 61.4%, compared to Sonnet 4’s 42.2% just four months ago. On SWE-bench Verified, which measures real-world software engineering tasks, it sits firmly at the top. This is where it earns the title of best coding model. ... Anthropic didn’t just ship the model, they overhauled the ecosystem. Claude Code: checkpoints (finally), a better terminal, and a native VS Code extension.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: I tested GPT-5.1 Codex against Sonnet 4.5, and it's about time Anthropic bros take pricing seriously.
November 15, 2025 -

I've used Claude Sonnets the most among LLMs, for the simple reason that they are so good at prompt-following and an absolute beast at tool execution. That also partly explains the maximum Anthropic revenue from APIs (code agents to be precise). They have an insane first-mover advantage, and developers love to die for.

But GPT 5.1 codex has been insanely good. One of the first things I do when a new promising model drops is to run small tests to decide which models to stick with until the next significant drop. Also, allows dogfooding our product while building these.

I did a quick competition among Claude 4.5 Sonnet, GPT 5, 5.1 Codex, and Kimi k2 thinking.

  • Test 1 involved building a system that learns baseline error rates, uses z-scores and moving averages, catches rate-of-change spikes, and handles 100k+ logs/minute with under 10ms latency.

  • Test 2 involved fixing race conditions when multiple processors detect the same anomaly. Handle ≤3s clock skew and processor crashes. Prevent duplicate alerts when processors fire within 5 seconds of each other.

The setup used models with their own CLI agent inside Cursor,

  • Claude Code with Sonnet 4.5

  • GPT 5 and 5.1 Codex with Codex CLI

  • Kimi K2 Thinking with Kimi CLI

Here's what I found out:

  • Test 1 - Advanced Anomaly Detection: Both GPT-5 and GPT-5.1 Codex shipped working code. Claude and Kimi both had critical bugs that would crash in production. GPT-5.1 improved on GPT-5's architecture and was faster (11m vs 18m).

  • Test 2 - Distributed Alert Deduplication: Codexes won again with actual integration. Claude had solid architecture, but didn't wire it up. Kimi had good ideas, but a broken duplicate-detection logic.

Codex cost me $0.95 total (GPT-5) vs Claude's $1.68. That's 43% cheaper for code that actually works. GPT-5.1 was even more efficient at $0.76 total ($0.39 for test 1, $0.37 for test 2).

I have written down a complete comparison picture for this. Check it out here: Codexes vs Sonnet vs Kimi

And, honestly, I can see the simillar performance delta in other tasks as well. Though for many quick tasks I still use Haiku, and Opus for hardcore reasoning, but GPT-5 variants have become great workhorses.

OpenAI is certainly after that juicy Anthropic enterprise margins, and Anthropic really needs to rethink its pricing.

Would love to know your experience with GPT 5.1 and how you rate it against Claude 4.5 Sonnet.

r/webdev on Reddit: Claude Sonnet 4.5’s Bold Claims Don’t Match What Software Developers Are Seeing
August 24, 2025 - Sonnet 4 was hobbled and completely unimpressive in Cursor. I only ever used Gemini 2.5 and GPT-5. 4.5 is in a completely different league. And in Claude Code having been previously spoiled by plan mode I noticed myself trusting 4.5 to plan and execute a lot more (sometimes out of shear laziness).
