For coding, I‘m finding Claude‘s responses most to the point and on-task. While many other models try to extrapolate or lecture or patronize. DeepSeek is pretty good though. Maybe it’s the high latency (probably due to prompt processing)?

I personally have no good reason why I don't always ask Claude and DeepSeek the same prompt.

Thinking about it more, I think a big part of it is that correct answers are not a limiting factor for me it feels like. Claude is good enough and it is more what to do with all these correct answers is my problem. I am also naturally biased to a model if paying for it.
