In my experience, Anthropic's models may be slightly better for coding. (I think that GPT-5 Thinking/Pro are ahead, but I know that others disagree.) Where just about everything else is concerned, though, my impression is that they're way behind. They're particularly terrible at analyzing images. I recently gave GPT-5, o3, and Gemini 2.5 Pro an image analysis task (literally as simple as "describe this image"), and all of them passed the test with flying colors. I gave the exact same task to Opus 4.1 and it was spectacularly botched, twice. So I might use Opus for coding and perhaps for agentic stuff, but I'd hesitate to use it for anything else.
