It really depends on the complexity of code. I've found models (codex-5.1-max, opus 4.5) to be absolutely useless writing shaders or ML training code, but really good at basic web development.

Interesting, I've been using Claude Max with UE5 and while it isn't _brilliant_ with shaders I can usually get it to where I want. Also had a bit of success with converting HLSL shaders to GLSL with it.
I've asked it to write some non-trivial three.js code and have not gotten it to succeed.
i got it to write some shaders in js and some three.js and it fixed something I had previously never been able to do.
Which is no surprise as the data for web development stuff exists in large amounts on the web that the models feed off.
