I've tried many models, Sonnet is the better one at coding, 3.7 at least, I am not impressed with 4.
If Sonnet 3.7 is the best you've found, then no, you haven't tried many models. At least not lately.
For coding, I'd suggest Gemini 2.5 Pro, o3-mini-high, or Opus 4. I've heard good things about Grok 4 as well, so if you're OK with that whole scene and the guy who runs it, maybe give it a shot.
If you have already done so and still think Sonnet 3.7 is better than any of them, then the most likely explanation is that you got incredibly lucky with Claude and incredibly unlucky with the others. LLMs aren't parrots, but they are definitely stochastic.
