Claude Code

Featured✓

Anthropic's coding companion for terminal and desktop, powered by Claude 4.6 models

Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-first coding experience available in Claude desktop/web and CLI. It now centers on Sonnet 4.6 as the default and Opus 4.6 for deeper reasoning tiers, with project context via CLAUDE.md, multi-file edits, code search, and permissioned command execution. Included with Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans; API usage is billed separately per model pricing.

• ●Available in Claude desktop/web and CLI
• ●CLAUDE.md file for project-specific context
• ●Project-wide code search and multi-file editing

Claude Desktop

Featured✓

Anthropic desktop assistant for coding and deep reasoning

Claude Opus 4.6 is Anthropic's current top-tier Opus model line for complex coding and agentic workflows. It is positioned above Sonnet 4.6 for tasks requiring deeper reasoning and higher precision. Pricing starts at $5 per 1M input tokens and $25 per 1M output tokens, with prompt caching and batch options for additional savings. This profile tracks the Opus line on the legacy claude-opus-4-5 route.

• ●Hybrid reasoning tuned for coding, agents, and computer-use tasks
• ●Opus 4.6 tier for highest-depth reasoning workloads
• ●Tool use/function calling with structured outputs

Codex

Featured✓

OpenAI coding assistant for software development workflows

OpenAI Codex now refers to the modern Codex coding model family rather than the legacy 2023 Codex models. Current documentation highlights gpt-5.3-codex for Codex coding sessions and gpt-5.3-codex-spark as an ultra-fast research preview model for real-time coding. OpenAI also documents gpt-5-codex in the API model catalog with published pricing and large-context support.

• ●Recommended Codex model: gpt-5.3-codex
• ●Ultra-fast real-time preview model: gpt-5.3-codex-spark
• ●API model card available for gpt-5-codex with published pricing

Gemini

Featured✓

Google AI assistant and model family for coding and multimodal tasks

The Gemini API exposes Gemini 3-series models including gemini-3-pro-preview, gemini-3-flash-preview, and gemini-3.1-pro-preview. Many teams refer to the first two as Gemini 3.0 Pro/Flash in conversation, but official model IDs use the gemini-3-* naming. Developers get multimodal inputs, tool use, context caching, Batch API, and Live streaming, with pricing and model availability managed on ai.google.dev.

• ●Gemini 3 Pro/Flash previews and Gemini 3.1 Pro preview model line
• ●Multimodal inputs (text, image, audio, video) with text output and image generation
• ●Tools: function calling, code execution, Google Search/Maps grounding, URL context, File Search, computer-use

Cursor

Featured✓

The AI-first code editor built to make you extraordinarily productive

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on a fork of VS Code. It integrates AI directly into editing workflows with Tab (autocomplete), Composer (multi-file editing), and Agent (autonomous tasks). Cursor generally tracks frontier OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini model families; current ecosystems commonly include GPT-5.x and Codex-family options, Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 tiers, plus Gemini 3 Pro/Flash and Gemini 3.1 Pro preview paths where available by plan and account.

• ●Cursor Tab (Next-gen Autocomplete)
• ●Cursor Composer (Multi-file editing)
• ●Cursor Agent (Autonomous coding)
