What's wild here is that among every single score they've absolutely killed, somehow, Anthropic and Claude Sonnet 4.5 have won a single victory in the fight: SWE Bench Verified and only by a singular point.
I already enjoy Gemini 2.5 pro for planning and if Gemini 3 is priced similarly, I'll be incredibly happy to ditch the painfully pricey Claude max subscription. To be fair, I've already got an extremely sour taste in my mouth from the last Anthropic bait and switch on pricing and usage, so happy to see Google take the crown here.
SWE bench is weird because Claude has always underperformed on it relative to other models despite Claude Code blowing them away. The real test will be if Gemini CLI beats Claude Code, both using the agentic framework and tools they were trained on.
