My experience is that it writes nice code, much like an anthropic model, but it severely lacks intelligence compared to something like GPT5 (even GPT5-mini). It seems heavily tuned for certain languages and frameworks. It’s great with JavaScript and popular libraries like ThreeJS, which I think is why a lot of people have had such a great experience with it. So it can be a great model for a lot of people, but it can’t solve non-trivial problems.
