Opus 4.1 vs GPT-5 - head-to-head in Cursor
GPT-5 vs Claude Opus 4.1: Real-World AI Showdown
In this episode, we pit GPT-5 against Claude Opus 4.1 in a real-life coding competition using Cursor. The task: to create an investment opportunity analyzer using real housing market data. Both models were given identical project requirement documents (PRDs) and datasets to see which could develop a more effective and user-friendly application. Watch as we compare their performances, delve into their outputs, and ultimately determine which AI comes out on top. GitHub Repository:
