Where does the secret sauce show up in the outputs, then?

Like, (apart from tone), I find it hard to distinguish between the outputs of GPT/Claude/Kimi/GLM recently (I use cursor, and have been giving them the same prompt and comparing).

If anything, I found that the non-Claude models were better in many cases, which definitely doesn't map to their pricing.

Probably not, but unless you work at a lab, I'm not sure that anyone can say (and if you do work at a lab, you should not be replying on this thread).
