For day to day coding, I've found Anthropic to be killing it with Sonnet 3.7 and now Sonnet 4, and Claude Code feeling like it has even bigger advantages over when it's used in Cursor (And I can't explain why).

I don't even try to use the OpenAI models because it's felt like night and day.

Hopefully GPT-5 helps them catch up. Although I'm sure there are 100 people that have their own personal "hopefully GPT-5 fixes my personal issue with GPT4"

The leak last night seems to indicate this will be coding focused.

I'd imagine this must be a big leg up on Anthropic to warrant the "GPT-5" name?

I hope that this live stream will tell you that this will be the definitive reason why web developers, JavaScript / TypeScript developers are going to be made completely obsolete at worse and at best, their jobs will be reduced at all levels.

The best part is, this is not even the real definition of "AGI" yet (whatever that means at this point).

More like 10% of the capability that was promised and already the flow of capital from the inflated salaries of the past decade are going to the top AI researchers.

I'm guessing they realized they have rip off the bandaid and release a GPT 5 at some point, and we're gonna see a relatively incremental improvement.

GPT-5 should mean a brand new model/architecture trained from scratch.

Colleagues were saying that horizon alpha and beta were looking better than claude4 for frontend stuff, especially newer frameworks. I think the idea of having full + mini + nano is really good, as long as the smaller ones can reasonably handle small-ish tasks. You'd have your architect / plan whatever sessions with the large one, scoping out regular tasks for the -mini version and then the really easy ones to -nano.

4.1 was almost usable in that fashion. I had 4.1-nano working in cline with really trivial stuff (add logging, take this example and adapt it in this file, etc) and it worked pretty well most of the time.

Why do you hope this so much? Any personal reasons?

For those who haven't seen, a little bit of early stuff:

Whatever the benchmarks might say, there's something about Claude that seems to deliver consistently (although not always perfect) quite reliable outputs across various coding tasks. I wonder what that 'secret sauce' might be and whether GPT-5 has figured it out too.
