I've noticed the same thing, and even done side by side tests where I compare Claude Code with Cursor both running Opus 4.6.

It seems Cursor somehow builds a better contextual description of the workspace, so the model knows what I'm actually trying to achieve.

The problem is that with Cursor I'm paying per-token, so as GP suggested you can easily spend $100+ per month vs $20 on Claude Code.

I saw this immediately with 4.6 and dumped back to 4.5 because I actually asked it wtf it was doing and it's response was "being lazy"
