> GPT‑5.3 Instant also improves the quality of answers when information comes from the web. It more effectively balances what it finds online with its own knowledge and reasoning
This is definitely something I've noticed GPT does much better than Claude in general. Claude preferences trying to answer everything itself without searching.
Interesting, I actually think Claude searches too much. (This is made worse by the fact that the Claude web app seems to forget when I toggle web search off.)
I'd agree - even in claude-code it's always trying to search for very basic documentation that, when prompted, it admits that it already has
Maybe it's like the GPT sales pitch, needs to find a better balance. Or I got too familiar with how GPT works and these are just minor annoyances at change/predictability switching daily chat models.
