I gave Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, and Grok 4.6 the same complex web project and only one behaved like a senior developer
One planned ahead, two just coded.
A complex web development project was given to AI models Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, and Grok 4.6 to complete from scratch. The goal was to assess their ability to create a production-ready application, rather than just generating code quickly.
According to XDA Developers, only one of the AI models behaved like a senior developer, but the outlet did not specify which one. The project required a different skill set than just generating code, implying that the AI models were being tested on their ability to produce a complete and functional application.
An Amazon security engineer, Chaz Schlarp, used Claude Opus 5 to modify the firmware of various PC peripherals, including a webcam, microphone, and monitor. TechRadar reported that Schlarp demonstrated the ease with which AI can be used to reverse engineer and modify device firmware, highlighting potential security risks.
