Just completed a new benchmark that sheds some light on whether Anthropic's premium is worth it.

(Short answer: not unless your top priority is speed.)

I recently switched to the $200 CC subscription and I think I will stay with it for a while. I briefly tested whatever version of ChatGPT 5 comes with the free Cursor plan and it was unbearably slow. I could not really code with it as I was constantly getting distracted while waiting for a response. So, speed matters a lot for some people.

Why no Grok 4?

		People hate it because it had less filters and media caught on, so they told people to hate it. It’s actually the best one right now, or close to. For my uses (code and queries) nothing comes even close. Once people look past the “but ELoN mUssKkkk!!!”, they’ll be surprised.
