Lots of people jizzing over Google in the last weeks. But Copilot and ChatGPT are by far and away the leaders in the space currently, both coupled to Microsoft.
Sure their own tools suck, but when wasn't that the case in the last 15years?
I use Claude and Cursor to help program all the time, but I made the mistake of helping my wife try to use work-supplied Copilot and it was an utter failure at generating procedure documentation. After a couple hours of pissing around getting nothing useful, I fed the prompts to claude and had what she needed in a few minutes.
If this trash is what Microsoft is pinning it's future on, they're fucked.
Claude models and all the rest are available in copilot from the selection box...
If you're using free model from github on GPT4 then yeah I would think it's no where near Claude 4.5
Have you tried codex? It’s pretty good… for AI
Its awful yeah. But Microsoft have all that enterprise licence money coming in anyway. They will still be here in 50 years. In my mind they are more certain to be here than Google.
They are awful but they have their software on almost any pc in the world. If pc's disappear and nobody needs personal computers anymore, that would be a lethal strike. But doesnt seem likely even with Ai coming in everything.
