There's an important difference between Gemini and Claude that I'm not sure how to quantify. I often use shell-connected LLMs (LLMs with a shell tool enabled) to take care of basic CSV munging / file-sorting tasks for me - I work in data science so there's a lot of this. When I ask Claude to do something, it carefully looks at all the directories and files before doing anything. Gemini, on the other hand, blindly jumps in and just starts moving stuff around. Claude executes more tools and is a little slower, but it almost always gets the right answer because it appropriately gathers the right context before really trying to solve the problem. Gemini doesn't seem to do this at all, but it makes a world of difference for my set of problems. Curious to see if others have had the same experience or if its just a quirk of my particular set of tasks

Claude has always been the best at coding, no matter what all the benchmarks says, the people have spoken and the consensus is that Claude is the best.

What's a shell connected LLM and how to do that?

Look up Claude Code, Cursor, Aider and VSCode's agent integration. Generally, tools to use AI more actively for development. There are others as well. Plenty of info around. Here's not the place for a tutorial.
