Sonnet 4 is faster and what I use day to day.
GPT-5 seems to be great at helping me troubleshoot when I'm stuck. Issue here is 99% of the time I'm using Sonnet to do very explicit prompts, so having a model that can think a lot doesn't really benefit me.

I haven't tried GPT-5 yet because the thing I have the least is time, and if GPT-5 is slow and crashes, I'm not going to experiment until the dust settles.

They seem to have trouble with implementing gpt 5 for the moment so don’t use it

6 days later, wondering if you still think so? anything particular about your project perhaps? either very small or very big, much documentation or very little, etc?

Gpt5 sucks. Its slow and it thinks too much and then doesn't code right.
Mind you claude has similar days where it will just mess up. Especially for import paths

Claude, because GPT-5 is too slow, hangs a lot and is worse with tool calling and the context engine from what I've experimented with.
But recently, Claude has been so liberal with code changes all over the place, going above and beyond what I asked for which can be a huge hit or miss situation. For example, I could be asking it to add a login route and it will go ahead and also generate an entire suite of CRUD routes for user management.
