If you use the models like we execute coding tasks, older models outperform latest models. There's this prep tax that happens even before we start coding, i.e., extract requirements from tools, context from code, comments and decisions from conversations, ACs from Jira/Notion, stitch them together, design tailored coding standards and then code. If you automate the prep tax, the generated code is close to production ready code and may require 1-2 iterations max. I gave it a try and compared the results and found the output to be 92% accurate while same done on Claude Code gave 68% accuracy. Prep tax is the cue here
