> I'm a SWE who's been using coding agents daily for the last 6 months and I'm still skeptical. What improvements have you noticed over that time? It seems like the models coming out in the last several weeks are dramatically superior to those mid-last year. Does that match your experience? | ||

Not the grandparent, but I've used most of the OpenAI models that have been released in the last year. Out of all of them, o3 was the best at the programming tasks I do. I liked it a lot more than I like GPT 5.2 Thinking/Pro. Overall, I'm not at all convinced that models are making forward progress in general. | ||
