I completely disagree. For me the best for bulk coding (with very good instructions) is Sonnet 4.5. Then GPT-5 codex is slower but better guessing what I want with tiny prompts. Gemini 2.5 Pro is good to review large codebases but for real work usually gets confused a lot, not worth it. (even though I was forced to pay for it by Google, I rarely use it).
But the past few days I started getting an "AI Mode" in Google Search that rocks. Way better than GPT-5 or Sonnet 4.5 for figuring out things and planning. And I've been using without my account (weird, but I'm not complaining). Maybe this is Gemini 3.0. I would love for it to be good at coding. I'm near limits on my Anthropic and OpenAI accounts.
