AFAIK in some space they're still the best models on offer.

The way I see it, this was the case until a few months ago. Today, Opus 4.5 is just as good or better than 5.2 Pro at tackling hard questions and coding, Gemini beats the free models, and Kimi K2/K2.5 is the better writer/editor.

In my own testing these models sill have a different flavor to them

- Opus 4.5 for software development. Works faster, and tends to write cleaner code.

- GPT 5.2 xHigh for mathematical analysis, and analysis in general (e.g. code review, planning, double checks), it's very meticulous.

- Gemini 3.0 Pro for image understanding, though this one I haven't played around with much.

Not in my experience, Gemini proves much better for me now.

Can you get Gemini to stop outputting code comments yet? Every single time I've tried it, I've been unable to get it to stop adding comments everywhere, even when explicitly prompting against it, seems like it's almost hardcoded in the model that code comments have to be added next to any code it writes.
