alt Hacker NewsHonestly I’m not looking for max iq on whatever benchmarks they are overfitting to. I want speed. I toggle between sonnet 5 low/med which is plenty good for my workflow.
My general strat with LLMs is to let them do the work and constantly talk to them about their choices and then heavy QA
Gemini 3.7 was benched at 6x the speed of Claude opus high at a slightly lower “intelligence score”. Yes opus is great at one shotting tasks (while being overly verbose as everyone here is saying), but I can’t stand the 20-minute-prompt-code-prompt interrupt loop. Still have yet to try Gemini for coding tasks but going to give it a try today..
