On ARC AGI 2, Opus is just a smarter model and I think we see such big climb not because it is so good at thinking, but rather without thinking it is nearly impossible for it to do these puzzles well (same for me). E.g. GPT-5-Pro is below Opus 4.5 thinking 16k, but there's no way

Claude Opus 4.5 outperforms GPT-5.1-Pro in efficiency
By

Claude Opus 4.5 – multi-turn (8 edits). A really nice result, I wouldn't say it is beating GPT-5.1-Pro, but it didn't take anywhere near as much time. I haven't shared Gemini 3 Pro properly because I could never get anything that I liked, so Opus is definitely winning here! https://t.co/dCFOyDu0Sx pic.twitter.com/LRLt2FNk9a

Counting PRs is a little silly, but there's a huge shift in the Codex CLI PRs since August – though still behind Gemini CLI PRs, which I did not expect. New Codex model would be pretty cool to have.
