Claude 4 Opus + Claude Code is an unbelievably great coding agent.
Opus is basically an AI SWE.
It’s the *most* productive I’ve been using AI to code while requiring the *least* effort of any tool - it just works.
Give it todos and watch it speedrun your backlog.
It’s magic.

With Opus you just kind of interact with it like a coworker and it works.
You don’t need to adapt to the agent.
The agent adapts to you.
It’s powerful & precise out-of-the-box without going off the rails like 3.7 Sonnet has a tendency to do.
They struck a beautiful balance.
My only criticism is that I really, really need 1M context.
1M tokens of truly usable context is an absolute game changer and has fundamentally changed how I work with models - especially when planning tasks.
By the end of the year this needs to be standard for all models.
