It's able to take my instructions, do a good job at planning out the implementation, and will ask me relevant questions around interactions and functionality. It also gives me more tokens than Claude for the same price. Now, I'm trying to white label something that I made in Figma so my use case is a lot different from the average person on this site, but so far it's my go to and I don't see any reason at this time to switch.
I've noticed when it comes to evaluating AI models, most people simply don't ask difficult enough questions. So everything is good enough, and the preference comes down to speed and style.
It's when it becomes difficult, like in the coding case that you mentioned, that we can see the OpenAI still has the lead. The same is true for the image model, prompt adherence is significantly better than Nano Banana. Especially at more complex queries.
