> Gemini 2.5 PRO | Claude Opus 4

What I thought you were going to say is “Gemini- wha?”.

I’ve used Gemini 2.5 PRO and would definitely not use it for most of my coding tasks. Yes, it’s better at hard things, but it’s not great at normal things.

I’ve not used Claude 4 Opus yet- I know it’s great at large context- but Claude 4 Sonnet Thinking is mostly good unless the task is too complex, and Claude 4 Sonnet is good for basic operations in 1-2 files- beyond that it’s challenged and makes awful mistakes.
