I keep seeing all these posts saying GPT 5.4 is good or better than Claude, etc. I’d love to know what they actually use it for. My work involves reverse engineering, and the only thing that thing ever gives me is a big fat “Sorry, I can’t help with that.” Claude is the only one that goes the extra mile to let the user do what they want. If it does have any guardrails on this type of work, I have yet to hit them. Like I’m not asking it to write malware or hack into someone’s bank account. I’m reading memory layouts, tracing vtables, figuring out how a game engine works under the hood. That’s real technical work. But GPT acts like I just asked it to commit a felony every time I mention anything low level. Meanwhile Claude just gets it. You give it context, it rolls with it, it actually tries to help you solve the problem instead of lecturing you about responsible use. I get that models need guardrails, I’m not against that. But there’s a massive difference between “hey don’t help people build weapons” and “sorry I can’t explain what a pointer offset does because it sounds scary.” One of those is reasonable. The other one just makes your product useless for anyone doing anything beyond writing emails and summarizing PDFs. Seriously though if you’re out here saying GPT is better I want to know what kind of work you’re doing with it because for anything even slightly technical Claude has it beat by a mile. submitted by /u/New_Alarm4418
