@thdxr Depends on hw you measure effort Quite a lot compared to Claude models GPT 5.6 is capable, but it is also retarded

@thdxr +1 to this, it is the primary model I use for coding today, period.

5.6 is the most usable model ever made not saying it's gonna magically solve all your problems, it's just very easy to get good results from with low effort at this point if you're still struggling to get good code out of the machine it might be a you thing

@thdxr @pvncher It’s so steerable it’s ridiculous. Amazing.
