Opus 5.5 vs Sol 6 one-shot coding test: "it is not close"
alvelda · x · 2026-09-23
A developer ran a one-shot side-by-side comparison of Opus 5.5 and Sol 6 on a real side-project brief (a visualization of the Mongol conquest, with the dataset already researched). Expecting a close contest, they found the gap was large — Sol 6 clearly ahead. A single-sample anecdote, but an early first-hand signal worth watching.
