| Key Strength | â Top agentic bug fixing | â Most up-to-date knowledge | â Massive context window |
Choose GPT-5 if:
- ⢠You need top agentic bug fixing (74.9% SWE-Bench)
- ⢠You want flexible speed/accuracy modes
- ⢠You're using GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT
- ⢠You need 400K context window
Choose Claude 4.5 Sonnet if:
- ⢠You need the most recent knowledge (July 2025)
- ⢠You're using Cursor or Windsurf
- ⢠You want excellent debugging + safety
- ⢠You value Constitutional AI principles
Choose Gemini 2.5 Pro if:
- ⢠You need massive context (1-2M tokens)
- ⢠You're analyzing entire codebases
- ⢠You want near-perfect function generation (99%)
- ⢠You're in Google Cloud ecosystem
Pro Tip: Task-Specific Model Selection (Nov 2025)
The "best" model is no longer a single winner. Use GPT-5 or Claude 4.5 for real-world bug fixing (both ~74% on SWE-Bench), Gemini 2.5 for writing new functions (99% HumanEval), and Gemini for whole-codebase analysis (1-2M context). Tools like Cursor let you switch models per task.
