This is a good question. There's a big difference in being able to write coherent code and "needle in the haystack" questions. I've found that Claude is able to do the needle in the haystack questions just fine with a large context, but not so with coding. You have to work to keep the context low (around 15% to 20% in projects) to get coherent code that doesn't confabulate.
