A little off topic, but how does o1 and o1-pro compare to 3.7/3.5 claude for coding and system design/architecture? I currently have the $20 chatgpt plus and claude pro plans but want to upgrade for a month to do some heavy coding. Thanks!
I've actually done a lot of comparisons in this regard. 3.7 with the thinking tokens maxed out is about equal to o1-pro, occasionally o1-pro will be more elegant (in coding) but it's not a huge difference, for tasks like long context understanding with text summarization/aggregation I actually slightly prefer 3.7. That said, gemini-2.5-pro is waaay better than 3.7 at code and long context so its safe to assume it's better than o1-pro.
If you want to do heavy coding right now go with Gemini.
