Blogger argues Anthropic stays a step ahead of OpenAI on taste and coding, if pricing holds

Blogger iruletheworldmo is torn: he admires how ruthlessly OpenAI pivoted to secure frontier pretraining and likes its "dots" interface, but argues Anthropic always seems one step ahead—no loud marketing, no stores or merch, just world-class coding and knowledge-work models.
He says "Opus 5.5" (as stated) one-shots high-level white-collar work that rivals spin their wheels on, produces fewer dead tokens, and "has taste." If Anthropic can compete on price, it could be "so over." Version claims unverified.
