what's the real world comparison to opus 4.7 fellow coders?
4.6 did very well. 90% perfect on first try, got to 100% with just a few followups. 4.7 failed horribly. First produced garbage output and claimed it was done, admitted it did that when called out, proceeded to work at it a lot longer and then IT GAVE UP. GPT 5.5 codex was shockingly good. Achieved 90% perfect on first try in about a fourth of the time. Got to 100% faster and with fewer follow-ups.
I’m impressed.
Would be interesting if you ran your same test with Deepseek v4 and some of the other Chinese models.
I also tried GLM 5.1, it's first attempt was such a disaster I didn't bother working with it any further. It also took by far the longest and wasted a bunch of time/tokens trying to find other converters online (and failing) instead of just reverse engineering the format from the sample files given.
the thing is I've tried to come up with a good test my own and spend countless time just tweaking it instead of saying this is good enough and benchmarking.
