OpenAI still leads in agentic terminal coding, but by less.
Claude can plan the work and then run hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session (and with Opus 4.8, the agents can run for even longer)
That’s one way to turn profitable before the IPO, I guess. Goodbye tokens.
That remains to be seen. If open weight models get good enough and efficient enough, I don’t see what moat Anthropic, OpenAI, et al have. Maybe they can fade away so we can buy hardware again, and still reap the benefits of Turing-certified “autocomplete”.
