While ChatGPT provided outdated code and hallucinations, Claude delivered precise and accurate solutions within minutes. The author suggests Anthropic prioritizes coding capabilities more than competitors, making Claude a top choice for programming assistance despite other models ranking higher on synthetic benchmarks. ## Content Ive been a user of ChatGPT since early 2023, being one of the earlier users, I’ve gotten a taste of the power of AI before most. Whether it’s syntax assistance or helping me through a thought process for a new project, Ive made an effort to use AI as a co-intelligence in my work  Yesterday I came to a consensus that I had finally discovered one of the best AIs for coding. Note that the output of the LLM is significantly contingent upon the clarity and overall quality of your prompt Read Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick if you want to level up your AI skills  ChatGPT, Google Bard (now Gemini) Grok and DeepSeek are all models that I have had my fair share of experience with. They all were decent at coding, but yesterday a headache rushed into my brain as I struggled for hours trying to get a Liquid Glass window with Tauri. (Im still new to Tauri) then i tried Claude. Within a minute of promoting and following instructions the glassmorphic window was displayed before me. I was so confused. One thing I later noticed is that was that ChatGPT was giving me lots of outdated code and hallucinating with almost every prompt. Claude was precise and impressively accurate. It is highly probable that Anthropic pays attention to the coding abilities of their ai more than other companies, they even seem to perform better than models surpassing then on synthetic benchmarks  Tech is always evolving, and while this may change in the future Claude remains very high on the leaderboard when it comes to coding. Thanks for reading ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@nirajkvinit** · 15 upvotes > My today's experience: Claude Opus 4.6 is incomparable. However, GPT-5.3-Codex is not too far behind. GPT-5.3-Codex is way, way better than other models (including Gemini 3.1 pro, XAI, and others). **@jeanphilippeulpiano** · 5 upvotes > https://dev.to/jeanphilippe_ulpiano_46b/why-the-junior-ghost-town-is-our-biggest-threat-1apb **@a\_meb\_a** · 5 upvotes > yes, Claude is the best debugger, teacher and support. **@vinodsinghrautela** · 3 upvotes > Claude Opus is GOD in AI Era. **@parsasoroush** · 2 upvotes > Thanks, it was a good document. But I feel like we’re in a constant loop: first Claude is on top, then Google releases a new model and Gemini is great, then OpenAI drops something new and ChatGPT is the best, and then Anthropic updates again and Claude is back at #1. 😐 ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I replaced Claude with ChatGPT and the results actually shocked me](https://daily.dev/posts/i-replaced-claude-with-chatgpt-and-the-results-actually-shocked-me-fjqkwmc4h) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#chatgpt](https://daily.dev/tags/chatgpt), [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude), [#tauri](https://daily.dev/tags/tauri) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/claude-the-1-ai-for-programmers--r3l7p78tu) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/claude-the-1-ai-for-programmers--r3l7p78tu","headline":"Claude: the #1 AI for programmers?","text":"Claude outperformed ChatGPT and other AI models in a coding task involving Tauri and glassmorphic windows.
