The author notes:
- Opus 4.8 is still their primary driving model.
- Grok 4.5 is suitable for low-difficulty scenarios, but costs too much for high-difficulty tasks.
- GPT 5.6 sol falls into "infinite loops" on about 10% of tasks.
Conclusion: In real-world work scenarios, Opus remains the most stable.
