I used to think this, but using o1 quite a bit lately has convinced me otherwise. It’s been 1-shotting the fairly non-trivial coding problems I throw at it and is good about outputting large, complete code blocks. By contrast, Claude immediately starts nagging you about hitting usage limits after a few back and forth and has some kind of hack in place to start abbreviating code when conversations get too long, even when explicitly instructed to do otherwise. I would imagine that Anthropic can produce a good test time compute model as well, but until they have something publicly available, OpenAI has stolen back the lead.

"Their model" here is referring to 4o as o1 is unviable for many production usecases due to latency.
