I know this might be controversial, but ChatGPT 5.6 SOL is really, really good. The tables have turned now, it’s Anthropic’s new model, Claude 5, that reminds me of when ChatGPT first introduced something that felt like a step back. Even in coding, it seems to be outpacing Claude, probably because they hobbled it for the government.
