> truly good (Claude, Gemini) to evolve

Claude yes, but Codex is much better than Gemini in every way that matters except speed in my experience.

Gemini 3 Flash is an amazing model, but Gemini 3 Pro isn't great. It can do good work, but it's pretty random if it will or it will go off the rails and do completely the wrong thing. OTOH GPT 5.2 Codex with high thinking is the best model currently available (slightly better than Opus 4.5)
