Ask HN: Claude 3.5 Sonnet vs. o1 vs. <other> for coding. Let's talk!
2 points by notnotrishi 3 hours ago | hide | past | web | 3 comments | favorite





My notes:

- Sonnet 3.5 seems good with code generation and o1-preview seems good with debugging

- Sonnet 3.5 struggles with long contexts whereas o1-preview seems good at identifying interdependencies between files in code repo in answering complex questions

- Breaking the problem into small steps seems to yield better results with Sonnet

- I’m using primarily in Cursor/GH Copilot and with Python


I concur. Sonnet is great at starting projects, but eventually gets 'bogged' down and starts losing the plot. o1 is then useful to sort out the issues and painfully pull things back on track.

Started a small project to compare AI IDEs

(no comparison there yet, just some code to play around with)
