Not my experience. GPT 5.4 walks all over Claude from what I've worked with and its Claude that is the one willing to just go do unnecessary stuff that was never asked for or implement the more hacky solutions to things without a care for maintainability/readability.

But I do not use extra high thinking unless its for code review. I sit at GPT 5.4 high 95% of the time.
