THE SO WHAT
Head-to-head app builds across Grok 4.5, GPT-5.5, and Claude show we’re entering a comparative benchmarking era where model choice becomes an engineering decision, not a brand preference. Teams should start maintaining internal bake-off results by task class—codegen, reasoning, UX—rather than standardizing blindly on a single provider.
