LLMs also don't have the primary advantage humans get from job separation, diverse perspectives. A council of Opuses are all exploring the exact same weights with the exact same hardware, unlike multiple humans with unique brains and memories. Even with different ones, Codex 5.3 is far more similar to Opus than any two humans are to each other. Telling an Opus agent to focus on security puts it in a different part of the weights, but it's the same graph-- it's not really more of an expert than a general Opus agent with a rule to maintain secure practices.
You can differentiate by context, one sees the work session, the other sees just the code. Same model, but different perspectives. Or by model, there are at least 7 decent models between the top 3 providers.
I know, but none of those is nearly as much of a difference as another human looking at code. The top models have such overlapping training data they sometimes identify as each other.
