# Choosing models (`models`) Feedback Bench, coding agents, built 2026-10-01, window 2026-08-31 to 2026-09-27. Web page: https://feedbackbench.com/#/criterion/models Area of 4 criteria. Which models do you get, and do they hold up? Criteria: [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md), [Automatic model routing and fallback](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.routing_auto.md), [Reasoning effort setting and its defaults](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.effort_control.md), [Quality got worse or better over time](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.quality_drift.md) Rated author-weeks, all agents: 9163. Complaint share: 74%. ## The brief Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from 110 labelled posts and the numbers on this page. Interpretation, not measurement: every quote is verbatim and links to its post. **Users want model choice; they get gated access and suspected nerfs.** TL;DR: - Biggest complaint is drift, where models feel sharp at launch and then dumber weeks later. - Newest models arrive late, or only on pricier plans, and users notice within hours. - Open, multi-provider harnesses earn praise for letting users mix and swap models freely. In plain terms: You pick a model, it works great, then it seems to slip. The newest model might not be on your plan. Effort defaults can burn your quota. Tools that let you swap providers feel safest. ### How it breaks - **Models feel nerfed after launch** ([Quality got worse or better over time](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.quality_drift.md)). Users describe a launch-week high followed by lazier, sloppier output, and many suspect throttling timed to promotions or the next release. The pattern repeats across vendors. A model ships, users love it, then posts report more mistakes on unchanged workflows. Some tie the drop to load and usage resets. Others tie it to an ending promotion or an incoming successor. Whether or not anything changed server-side, the perception erodes trust. Stopping nerfs is the single most common request in this area, and most of it comes from Claude Code users. Evidence: - Complaint, Cursor, r/cursor, 2026-09-16: “same, this seems to be the way of things now sadly. bait and switch tactics are the norm anymore with these frontier models… :/ great for a day or two on drop but then the intelligence doesn’t just get a little worse; its like working with einstein and then all of a sudden i’m giving money to a 15 year old lying obstinate teen with the most severe case dunning-krueger syndrome i have ever seen…” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1wh5qqi/grok_46_has_been_lobotomized/pa3cbu2/) - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-12: “stop resets! the system is already overloaded, hence the lobotomy of the models. if i use ur ai it has to be good!!” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1we8gmi/tibos_bonus_resets_with_pushing_back_next_reset/p9dfray/) - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-07: “i think the 3.8 is hallucinating and have difficulty splitting what i am telling it , i think 3.7 was better than 3.8 in some few ways” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1w6h936/google_claims_are_correct_guys/p8dpefo/) - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-23: “in some ways similar but in several benchmarks it is straight up worse.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wo3ixp/how_do_you_think_openai_will_respond_next_week/pbksu4c/) - **Newest models stuck behind plans** ([Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md)). Users report seeing a new model announced and then waiting for it on their plan, region, org or harness. Access lags in several ways. Plus users can't see the new model. Teams on paid tiers find nobody in the account can use it. Third-party harnesses ship support days after the launch. Users compare vendors on how fast a model lands and switch tools when a rival enables it within minutes. Requests for newest models on lower-priced plans and for parity across app and CLI cluster heavily on OpenAI Codex. Evidence: - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-06: “i am a plus user but still not able to see astra on my codex 🥲😭😭” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1w7ylpn/why_is_everyone_so_angry_with_plus_users/p84e84v/) - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-10: “@cline kindly please be a little bit faster to enable deepseek 4.1 flash in clinepass. opencode and commandcode enabled this under 30 mins of official announcement.” [source](https://twitter.com/10877782/status/2097944041832734973) - Complaint, Factory, @FactoryAI, 2026-09-04: “@factoryai i was using plus and max, but no one in my account can use gpt-6 astra 😂😅” [source](https://twitter.com/2079628486055178240/status/2095732701659852808) - Complaint, Pi, @pidotdev, 2026-09-04: “@pidotdev where is astra support? i finally get access and i can't even use it in pi :(((” [source](https://twitter.com/2088433818047004672/status/2095954568513487157) - **Effort defaults quietly drain usage** ([Reasoning effort setting and its defaults](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.effort_control.md)). High or max reasoning set as a default, or inherited by subagents, burns credits and often overthinks simple work. Users find out late that a UI update set a model to high, or that spawned agents defaulted to the priciest model. High effort on simple tasks reportedly hunts for edge cases that aren't there and overengineers. A Pi bug silently dropped most thinking levels. The community advice is consistent. Medium is the sweet spot, and you should raise effort deliberately. Evidence: - Complaint, GitHub Copilot, r/GithubCopilot, 2026-09-06: “i discovered that copilot ui did an update setting sonnet at high by default. of course i was consuming so much credit will try to do with luna on medium high and see if i will be able to manage” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1w6zbe6/copilot_pro_am_i_missing_something/p82sb8j/) - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-04: “what effort you used. with high effort for simple task looks for hidden catches and missed edge cases that are expected but are not there and result is oftrn overnegineered si olution.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1w72g6u/fable_51_is_an_overthinker/p7stqja/) - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-08: “mine was doing this too until i made sure the agents where running cheaper models. claude was deafulting every agent it created to fable 5.1 after i made sure it was using models more efficiently my usage slowed down significantly.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wa6325/what_is_happening_absolutely_frustrating/p8gjb41/) - Complaint, Pi, r/PiCodingAgent, 2026-09-22: “if asking pi failed, that is because pi itself introduced a bug in 0.86.x upwards that silently drops thinking levels other than off or medium.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1wmo5e5/how_do_i_support_thinking_mode_correctly_with/pb9r60u/) - **Auto routing swaps models unannounced** ([Automatic model routing and fallback](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.routing_auto.md)). Auto modes save money for some, but users report subtasks rerouted to models they never picked, draining other quotas. Cursor auto gets split reviews. Some users run hundreds of millions of tokens on it happily. Others say it defaults to expensive models and lowers quality. One user says project mode switched subtasks to a different provider mid-task. Skeptics question how any router can judge task difficulty upfront, and point to cache invalidation when it switches mid-session. Users want smart switching, but they want it to be visible. Evidence: - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-16: “wtf, it's too坑了, be cautious when using cursor's project mode. although it can help you run projects on cloud machines without using local resources, it will secretly change the model calls by itself. i clearly specified to use grok when creating it, but during the task, the subtasks secretly used gpt, causing me to exhaust all my other models quota... @cursor_ai ” [source](https://twitter.com/1253580691/status/2100106760082411580) - Complaint, Cursor, r/cursor, 2026-09-15: “dont use auto. simple. keep grok for planning, and use composer for implementation. i got a $20 subscription and work across 7 repo projects with ease, only once in the last year have i run out of credits. if you put a little thought into your model use and coding style you can get much more from it. i keep testing auto for quality. it sucks. why? cos it keep defaulting to grok for coding. and then it does high and fast, which is astronomically high compared to composer 2.5 (without fast). grok for thinking and planning. composer for checking grok's thoughts and implementation details. and use beads to string together a plan composer will implement. i keep mentioning beads, and it feels like throwing pearls before swine.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1wcqt8e/changed_alot/p9y3bs4/) - Complaint, Factory, @FactoryAI, 2026-09-26: “the transit station really has no work to do. i have always been curious about the router that @factoryai has been promoting. they have never clearly explained the specific router mechanism, just vaguely mentioning the classification of simple and complex tasks. how can we determine whether a task is complex or not before it starts, and the inevitable cache invalidation caused by switching models midway is a big problem (anyway, the transit station makes money regardless, lol). a previous idea was to train a small ml model for task classification, and then jev came out, but is this model really suitable for the task difficulty classification work? a big question mark needs to be placed on that.” [source](https://twitter.com/1724973133097291776/status/2103781371772809499) - Praise, Cursor, r/cursor, 2026-09-03: “there is a usage dashboard on [cursor.com]() where you can see exactly how many tokens you spent per request and what model was used. i am looking at it now and i see mostly auto and gemini flash 2.5. i think auto is on of cursor's own models like grok or composer i think and it seemingly uses gemini flash 2.5 for smaller implementation tasks. i just passed 800m tokens for the month and i cannot complain about the results. of course you still need to set up the proper skills and also guide the agents, but auto works very good for me.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1w46p57/do_you_guys_use_auto_in_cursor_do_you_recommend/p7jfb1f/) - **Mixing models is the real upside** ([Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md), [Automatic model routing and fallback](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.routing_auto.md)). Harnesses that let one model plan and another implement draw the warmest posts, because users can swap without rebuilding their setup. Users run a thoughtful model as coordinator and cheaper ones as workers, often from different labs in the same session. They say this beats a single big or small model for the whole task. Swappable models also let teams compare cost and quality on an identical flow. Multi-provider choice in one harness is a standing request against single-vendor tools. Evidence: - Praise, Pi, @pidotdev, 2026-09-20: “@pidotdev when i realized you could just have models invoke other models from other labs in the cli. was an early one but a game changer for me” [source](https://twitter.com/2069281373932650496/status/2101780014639251795) - Praise, GitHub Copilot, r/GithubCopilot, 2026-09-01: “our [evaluations]() have found that the copilot harness is a bit more token efficient than cc, at the time of writing. there is a large degree of nondeterminism and variance per task. something that copilot gets you though is nice multi-model support. personally i use opus 5 as my coordinator agent and have it send work to gpt-5.6 terra or luna agents as implementors. it gets much better and faster results than using a single big or small model for your whole task. i like opus' thoughtfulness for downstream effects of changes, and terra/luna seems to be a good mix of being very good at carrying out tasks without getting bogged down or getting too off track.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1w4ljfs/claude_code_vs_github_copilot_token_burn/p79xxgo/) - Praise, Google Antigravity, @antigravity, 2026-09-18: “that the model can be changed without redoing the agent is an architectural decision, not just a matter of convenience: it allows for comparing quality, cost, and latency with the same flow. for fp&a and internal control, that comparability is key to justifying automation with evidence and not just with a demo.” [source](https://twitter.com/1569177389959192578/status/2100955697332580472) - Praise, GitHub Copilot, r/GithubCopilot, 2026-09-06: “i’m using ghcp credits via hermes agent and it’s been pretty fucking awesome. almost completely out of claude desktop after about a week of tooling it. it’s wonderful being able to easily swap models, do so mid session, spawn bots/agents with their own model settings. can control my machine as much as i let it. full disclosure, i put the backend on my linux box and connect desktop over lan, so it’s not actively controlling my windows desktop - but it can, and does awesome with ubuntu 26.04.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1w9a0ft/computer_use_using_github_copilot_credits_where/p88xgx3/) ### Who stands out - **Devin (stronger)**. Users praise a cheap plan that bundles frontier models from several labs, its own model, and visible effort selection. Posts highlight switching between rival frontier models and an in-house model on one low-priced plan. Day-one support for new launches also draws praise. Fusion mode pairs a frontier model with the in-house one, and users like effort selection. Complaints are thin and center on benchmark skepticism. Evidence: - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-22: “@cognition devin 20$ is really the best deal right now. i can swith between astra, fable, gemini 3.8 flash... (rarely use but yes you can use any model) and unlimited swe-2. moreover, codewiki and free cloud agents recently. crazy and amazing at the same time. thanks @dabit3” [source](https://twitter.com/312505543/status/2102263172736700893) - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-04: “@dabit3 @devinai @cognition @devindesktop love that model effort selection is just a thing of beauty” [source](https://twitter.com/1917637884967792640/status/2095987531565183042) - Complaint, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-16: “@thek420metric @elitzavasileva @cognition yeah, swe-2 is actually a good model. doesn't have computer use like the openai models in codex, but pure coding/debugging/etc it's good. i've been using the fusion mode with astra and swe-2.” [source](https://twitter.com/1656279377213263873/status/2100182900532789674) - Praise, Devin, @DevinAI, 2026-09-06: “i've been slacking all week! sick as a dog 😪 tonight i'm evaluating @openai gpt 6 astra performance in @devinai. i haven't been this excited to really go balls to the wall with tokens in a minute. day 1 support. a shout out from openai. that's what i'm talking about 🚀🥳🎉 ” [source](https://twitter.com/358932148/status/2096398609155490172) - **OpenAI Codex (weaker)**. The loudest complaint volume here mixes gated access, parity gaps between app and CLI, and reports of the flagship turning lazy. Codex users lead requests for app and CLI parity, restored models and newest models on cheaper plans. Posts describe a new flagship going from loved to sluggish within weeks. Power users still praise effort tuning and report that medium as orchestrator stretches usage. Hitting zero usage pushes some back toward rivals. Evidence: - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-20: “gpt-6 astra is now frustratingly unusable. the codex app is slow, outputs have been very lazy, and the model is just behaving very dumb. the openai honeymoon is definitely over.” [source](https://twitter.com/1861818861785587714/status/2101787555377135765) - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-07: “i’ve been at 0% for the past two days and i loved my usage with astra, obviously too much. knowing what i know now about the low/medium model competency, i will no longer be using high astra. annoyingly now that i finished up the last part of my project i can’t ship it until i get access restored to help me realistically audit the entire codebase and work on final gate items :’) i still have 5 days until my usage resets •\_• this is usually when i run back to my claude plan and upgrade it back to 20x…which i’m trying to use all self-control right now to not do. i really want to say i shipped with codex.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1w9ya9z/possible_reset_timing_update/p8e0gmk/) - Praise, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-16: “why are you on astra high? just use medium to orchestrate and rely on sol after. i had it run for dozens of hours and i still have usage, even when relying heavily on astra medium as the worker.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1whvec6/any_hope_for_reset/pa7ymos/) - Praise, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-04: “now do yourself a favor, don't go above medium reasoning. look at the benchmarks. medium is peak.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1w7d3xe/astra_dropped_for_me/p7u3mr9/) - **Claude Code (mixed)**. Users rate the effort tiers on its newest model highly, yet Claude Code generates most of the stop-nerfing requests. Praise centers on clear effort tiers. Users call medium efficient and say xhigh self-checks and documents. They also report fewer limit hits on the newer model. The other side is drift. Users report the top model getting worse after a usage promotion ended. They also fault the lack of a competent lightweight model. Evidence: - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-25: “opus 5 was great but hit limits fast. **opus 5.5** on high reasoning is next level — better output, way fewer limit issues. anyone else checking their usage? what's your count?” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wpsg9b/one_month_in_65m_tokens_later_is_this_normal/) - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-15: “can live with the usage and work around that a bit. but i find fable 5.1 suddenly got nerfed down after 13 sept once the extra 50% usage promotion was done. same thing as a while back when they gave extra usage. fable suddenly makes a lot of stupid mistakes where i honestly had to look if it didnt use sonnet or opus in some mysterious way. quite annoying if you run a business with google ads automated on 85 clients and it starts making mistakes while it ran for 2 months flawlessly. no runbook or workflow was changed, no other methods, just the exact same sequences... when this happens magically a new model will come out that suddenly feels better than fable, because they dumbed it down...” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wh6524/cancelled_claude_max_20x_after_unusually_fast/p9zxv2a/) - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-27: “if you have limited tokens, medium will get you there. if you can spare the tokens and the tasking important, high gives a lot of extra quality control. if you develop something mission critical and have lots of tokens to spare, xhigh does a lot of the extra tests and documentation work in addition to the task itself. it also challenges its own work. opus 5.5 is a pleasure to work with.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wrmw8c/high_or_medium_for_opus_55/pcetct4/) - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-01: “anthropic seems determined to not have a competent lightweight model, which in a time where user's have ample access to models like luna seems like a very dumb move.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1w44s2m/haiku_45_nearly_year_old/p7927kj/) - **OpenCode (stronger)**. Users treat it as the model-agnostic harness, enabling new open models fast and letting setups survive model swaps. Users mix primary and subagent models across labs while keeping rules and process intact. They praise fast rollout of new open-weight models. The cost of that flexibility is opacity. Pooled routes can quietly move to a weaker model as provider deals change, and cheap tiers demand careful model picking. Evidence: - Praise, OpenCode, @opencode, 2026-09-16: “perhaps an underappreciated advantage of open coding harnesses: being able to combine the best of multiple different frontier models cheering for @thdxr @opencode @teknium @mitsuhiko + all the others! ” [source](https://twitter.com/2867689615/status/2100299185958641981) - Praise, OpenCode, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-06: “i have been using opencode for a year. my setup stays the same, the underlying models for primary and sub agents can change. i mix and match, it is a beautiful thing to see `coder-luna` and `reviewer-opus` work together, seamlessly, within the same session. now my `primary-sol` will be changing into a `primary-astra`. i've got model specific rules that allow me to 'normalize' their behavior when needed. claude code is cool and all, but to me it can't beat being able to replace the model and keep my setup and process the same (eg: k3 zdr `architect-k3` in place of fable without skipping a beat). just wish anthropic would support oauth access to open code, like openai does. don't stunt oss (consumption is controlled at the provider's end, so it is not as if oc can use more than an equivalent cc setup can, especially if anthropic were to provide a connector, again, like openai does)” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1w8qphl/model_agnostic_harness_setup/p85szzv/) - Complaint, OpenCode, r/opencode, 2026-09-09: “it was glm at some point. "big pickle" routes to whatever model opencode has a good deal with the provider and that has enough idle capacity at the moment. as their deals come and go, and computing is not a constant factor in this market, "big pickle" may start routing to a worse model out of the blue, so enjoy while you can and watch out for degradations.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/opencode/comments/1wbe5dz/is_it_my_impression_or_only_big_pickle_is/p8pdvue/) - Praise, OpenCode, @opencode, 2026-09-13: “@opencode i’ve been using deepseek 4.1 through opencode for over 5 hours now. looking at the benchmarks, it seems to be around the same level as gpt-5.6 max (sol high). what surprised me the most is that it can also control your pc, click things, and take screenshots to better understand what’s going on. it’s honestly one of the best models you can use and really push to its limits, instead of being stuck using openai’s luna model. the usage limits are very generous, and the model is really good.” [source](https://twitter.com/1154188487291297792/status/2099273508454826208) - **Kiro (weaker)**. Posts are dominated by missing or stale models, with users asking for open-weight and frontier releases that rivals already carry. Users say niche providers ship popular open-weight models on day one while Kiro has none. They ask for old models to be pruned. When a requested frontier model finally arrives, praise follows, but regional and org rollout lags. Credit burn makes the absence of cheap models sting more. Evidence: - Complaint, Kiro, r/kiroIDE, 2026-09-10: “pfft. every month my credit on kiro runs out sooner. i used my kiro plan in under 2 days this month. they need a deepseek model, not astra.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/kiroIDE/comments/1war1iu/is_gpt_astra_and_the_fable_models_coming_to_kiro/p8xg591/) - Complaint, Kiro, r/kiroIDE, 2026-09-02: “let's be honest, its not about data sharing. kiro is lacking even the latest open weight models like deepseek v4 or glm-5.3. how is it that a niche provider like melious.ai has these models basically on day 1 and we still have nothing? instead of developing more and more broken harnesses, they should fokus on keeping up with the latest development.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/kiroIDE/comments/1w4wl5c/are_we_getting_fable_51/p7bhm0z/) - Complaint, Kiro, @kirodotdev, 2026-09-06: “@kirodotdev when astra and fable and can you please remove all those old models you guy can do better than this @kirodotdev” [source](https://twitter.com/1328696201969946627/status/2096509522084855949) - Complaint, Kiro, @kirodotdev, 2026-09-22: “@kirodotdev it hasn't appeared for my organization in us-east-1 yet.” [source](https://twitter.com/2061100080120344576/status/2102282631169839341) ### Fine print - Model names and benchmark claims are as users state them; nothing here verifies drift or routing behavior server-side. - OpenAI Codex posts outnumber most rivals combined, so cross-cutting themes skew toward its user base. - Several routing praise posts come from vendor or vendor-adjacent accounts, which inflates the positive signal on auto routing. ## Top requests What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 2076 author-weeks ask for something. Requests do not change the Feedback Score. Rule: A separate pass by Claude Sonnet 5 reads every counted post and extracts what the author asks the agent or its vendor to add or change, with the criteria it maps to and a short normalised wording; it does not touch the labels or the Feedback Score. Claude Opus 5.5 groups the wordings within each criterion (the first criterion the request maps to) into themes; code counts them. A theme counts distinct author-weeks that ask for it, per agent; across agents, one author-week per agent. Themes asked in fewer than 2 author-weeks, and requests that share no theme, are not shown. Examples: up to 3 posts per theme from different authors, without slurs, preferring posts of 60 to 450 characters, most recent first. | Rank | Request | Criterion | Author-weeks | Posts | Agents (author-weeks) | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Stop nerfing or degrading models over time | [Quality got worse or better over time](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.quality_drift.md) | 88 | 92 | Claude Code 59, OpenAI Codex 22, Cursor 3, OpenCode 3, Devin 1 | | 2 | Newest models on lower-priced plans | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 79 | 80 | OpenAI Codex 32, Claude Code 23, OpenCode 9, Cline 6, Google Antigravity 2, Cursor 2, Kiro 2, Amp 1, GitHub Copilot 1, Devin 1 | | 3 | Add Opus 5.5 model | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 64 | 74 | Kiro 29, Google Antigravity 19, Amp 4, Claude Code 4, OpenAI Codex 3, Cursor 2, Devin 2, Conductor 1 | | 4 | Add DeepSeek V4.1 Flash model | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 60 | 62 | OpenCode 21, Cursor 9, Factory 7, Zed 6, OpenAI Codex 5, Kiro 4, Cline 3, GitHub Copilot 2, Devin 2, Amp 1 | | 5 | Restore removed models | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 58 | 60 | OpenAI Codex 26, Cursor 10, OpenCode 8, Claude Code 7, Google Antigravity 3, Amp 2, Cline 1, GitHub Copilot 1 | | 6 | Multi-provider model choice in one harness | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 50 | 52 | OpenAI Codex 10, Cursor 8, Zed 8, Google Antigravity 5, OpenCode 5, Pi 5, Claude Code 3, Amp 2, Devin 2, Cline 1, Factory 1 | | 7 | Add GPT-6 Astra model | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 48 | 49 | Cursor 26, OpenAI Codex 7, Kiro 7, OpenCode 5, Amp 1, Cline 1, Devin 1 | | 8 | Model parity across app, CLI and platforms | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 48 | 49 | OpenAI Codex 36, OpenCode 4, Google Antigravity 3, Cursor 2, Amp 1, Conductor 1, GitHub Copilot 1 | | 9 | Cheaper capable lightweight model tier | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 47 | 49 | OpenAI Codex 21, Claude Code 8, Cursor 7, OpenCode 5, Google Antigravity 3, GitHub Copilot 1, Devin 1, Factory 1 | | 10 | Update outdated Claude models in catalog | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 42 | 43 | Google Antigravity 36, Claude Code 3, OpenAI Codex 2, Kiro 1 | | 11 | Fix currently degraded model quality | [Quality got worse or better over time](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.quality_drift.md) | 41 | 43 | Claude Code 24, OpenAI Codex 12, Cursor 2, OpenCode 2, Google Antigravity 1 | | 12 | Keep older models available after new releases | [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md) | 40 | 44 | OpenAI Codex 14, OpenCode 8, Claude Code 6, Cursor 6, Google Antigravity 4, GitHub Copilot 1, Zed 1 | ### 1.
