Anthropic’s well-known advantage is common sense. Some development work relies on common sense, some on proprietary logic. Opus’s reasoning style is to guess many possibilities and then quickly verify. GPT5 tends to reason based on code implementation, repeatedly sorting out the business. The style is similar to the difference between breadth-first and depth-first. As the codebase grows, “common sense” hits a bottleneck, so Opus’s ceiling is lower than GPT5’s.
