# Doing the work (`work`) Feedback Bench, coding agents, built 2026-10-01, window 2026-08-31 to 2026-09-27. Web page: https://feedbackbench.com/#/criterion/work Area of 18 criteria. How does it behave while it works? Criteria: [Can do the user's kind of task](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.capability.md), [Frontend and visual UI output](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.frontend_ui.md), [Diagnosing and fixing reported bugs](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.bug_diagnosis.md), [Breaks existing code or reintroduces bugs](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.regressions_introduced.md), [Does unrequested work or over-engineers](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.scope_overreach.md), [Spins, loops or gets stuck without progress](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.stuck_loops.md), [Stops mid-task or answers instead of acting](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.premature_stop.md), [Long unattended runs and goal/loop mode](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.long_running_autonomy.md), [Subagents, parallel agents and orchestrators](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.multi_agent_orchestration.md), [Games checks instead of fixing the problem](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.reward_hacking.md), [Risky or irreversible actions without confirmation](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.destructive_actions.md), [Git commits, branches and sync](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.git_workflow.md), [Computer use and browser control](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.computer_browser_use.md), [Safety filters block legitimate coding tasks](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.safety_refusals.md), [Tool approval prompts and autonomy modes](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.permission_prompts.md), [Plan-before-edit mode](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.plan_mode.md), [Length and clarity of replies, summaries and comments](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.response_verbosity.md), [Caves to or argues with the user's judgement](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.sycophancy_pushback.md) Rated author-weeks, all agents: 18818. Complaint share: 52%. ## 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. **The models can code; the harnesses still loop, sprawl and lose subagents.** TL;DR: - Devin, Amp, Factory, Pi and Cursor rate better than peers; Google Antigravity and Zed trail. - The sharpest complaints are runs that circle one error for minutes, then get fixed by hand. - Subagent handoffs break often; users want event-driven completion instead of polling, mostly from OpenAI Codex. In plain terms: Expect solid single tasks and one-shot features. Expect trouble when you walk away. Agents circle on small errors, add files you never asked for, write long replies, and leave parent agents waiting on subagents that never report back. ### How it breaks - **Spinning on one error** ([Spins, loops or gets stuck without progress](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.stuck_loops.md), [Stops mid-task or answers instead of acting](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.premature_stop.md)). The most damaging pattern is an agent burning time on a small problem, showing activity but no progress, until the user steps in. Posts describe runs that churn rather than finish. One Google Antigravity user came back to find an eight-minute run still stuck on a single error, fixed it by hand in about a minute, and saw an older model version solve it fast. Cline users report tasks that stop and start for a day, or never complete after an hour. Cursor users say it goes in circles and they lose trust. Requests to fix endless looping lead with Google Antigravity. Evidence: - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-10: “@yannnis @cursor_ai it's been slow and going in circles about stupid things last week i noticed, loosing trust in it.” [source](https://twitter.com/9172042/status/2098119278184554777) - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-05: “i gave gemini 3.8 a simple task. it ran for 8 minutes for one single error. i was multitasking, and when i came back to check gemini, it was still working. and then i stopped it, fixed it myself in like a minitue. i paid money for this and i cant even use it anymore, it enters in an infinite loop, does unnecessary things. i reverted my changes, gave the same error to gemini 3.7, it fixed it in 37 seconds. does anyone know a fix?” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1w86a7u/what_is_happening_with_37/) - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-27: “i know stealth models seem to be the in thing right now, but i'm not sure they're even worth messing around with sometimes. trying to use pixel canary on @cline, and it's just so slow. i mean, 24 hours now, no closer to the task, and it keeps stopping and starting. it's horrible!” [source](https://twitter.com/25673607/status/2104177440129991012) - Complaint, Cline, r/CLine, 2026-09-17: “i tried the typical flight simulator prompt on several occasions; it was extremely slow, and the task never completed, even after waiting an hour.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/CLine/comments/1wixdae/we_added_union_alpha_stealth_model_to_cline_for/paeugm4/) - **Subagents that never report back** ([Subagents, parallel agents and orchestrators](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.multi_agent_orchestration.md)). Orchestration fails at the handoff, where parent agents lose track of children, orphans burn quota, and users end up babysitting the coordinator. Cursor users say project agents fail to listen to and poll their subagents, so they keep unsticking them by hand. Another reports the CLI cannot kill its own subagent, leaving orphans that eat quota and the worktree. A Google Antigravity user says broken subagent calls made custom agents useless and pushed them to Claude. Pi users want first-class subagents instead of a frozen wait. Event-driven completion instead of polling is a top request, led by OpenAI Codex users. Evidence: - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-21: “i'm finding @cursor_ai's new project's feature a bit too buggy to use day to day. i am constantly having to get my main project agents unstuck - they fail to properly listen and poll their sub agents, and overall the project architecture feels like its adding more time to each task.” [source](https://twitter.com/1409704620449054720/status/2102162330683375842) - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-11: “@peyton_nowlin @cursor_ai cli from @cursor_ai that does not kill its own subagent blocks the fan-out. i want to kill in the same process — orphan in the middle of the pr burns the quota and the worktree.” [source](https://twitter.com/326479892/status/2098457017782583368) - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-16: “please sort the invoke_subagent tool calling issue. i already give it up to wait you and just signed for claude to work on my project because of this. custom agents are useless right now without a chance to spin up any sub agents. i already opened a reddit post and sen a bug report on the official desktop app of antigravity.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wh9uyh/antigravity_2_release_v2140/pa3ti19/) - Complaint, Pi, @pidotdev, 2026-09-22: “@pidotdev +1 for first class subagents (not just pi -p in bash, because default pi just freezes there while it delegates the wait, and pi does not do very well with background commands without a lot of manual management) and a better edit tool (minor whitespace errors fail edits)” [source](https://twitter.com/1678448492690419712/status/2102402544693805561) - **Unrequested files and extra layers** ([Does unrequested work or over-engineers](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.scope_overreach.md)). Agents routinely do more than asked, scattering small features across files and adding stubs nobody requested. A veteran programmer asked Claude Code for a small client-side indicator and got it spread across five files with weak naming. Cursor users say Composer makes unnecessary changes when asked to replicate a reference. OpenCode users note models adding extra stubs for no reason. Even Claude Code fans concede the overengineering and say they had to build guardrails. One OpenAI Codex convert credits it with doing what they asked instead of inventing work. Evidence: - Complaint, Cursor, r/cursor, 2026-09-05: “i feel like response from composer lately getting bad. sometimes asked for replicate thing with reference may end up doing unnecessary changes.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1w6hn2i/i_guess_all_good_things_have_to_end/p7yauox/) - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-08-31: “that is not new development tho, that is refactoring an existing codebase. which they're better at. i'm going based on my specific taste, as a computer programmer of > 30 years. i've built and maintained a lot of systems in my life. so i gave claude a chance - i told him to write a simple fps indicator for my game, and to make it client side only. what he came up with was not done with meaningful variable names, and was spattered across 5 different files! i was wondering what was up with claude. so i gave him some blue sky development work, and watched. he only got to about 1600 lines, before he stalled out and couldn't progress. he used to be good, on july 17th. he was the best coder i have ever seen. but what is currently out, i would call a programming newbie. someone who has been in the field maybe a year.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1w2fd10/does_anyone_think_the_rise_of_llm_coding_will/p6yetrc/) - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-13: “i agree with the overengineering part. but for this i had to give it instructions / build guardrails. other than that it was highly intelligent and actually did everything i threw at it.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wf5pwg/gpt_6_hype_is_fake/p9j76s1/) - Praise, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-13: “i think it is subjective, and related to how your context is managed. i had the exact opposite experience moving from claude code to codex. gpt 5.6 sol just did what i wanted and didn't ramble on for hours like opus making up unnecessary work. i am happy to stay on codex now.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wetm28/we_switched_from_claude_code_to_codex_at_work/p9j4oto/) - **Overnight runs drift from intent** ([Long unattended runs and goal/loop mode](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.long_running_autonomy.md)). Long unattended runs tend to come back wrong, because the plan changes once real code exists and nobody is there to steer. Amp users describe overnight runs that end with work they dislike, and say short runs with a checkpoint work better. One planned on a phone at night and let Amp write while they slept, then considered switching back to Claude Code over the results. The counterexample comes from GitHub Copilot, where a user ran a session for half a day and called it great value. Autonomy works for some; drift is the common report. Evidence: - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-24: “@scottbolinger @ampcode same experience with the overnight runs. what's worked better for me is short runs with a checkpoint where i look at the shape before it keeps going. the plan always changes once real code exists” [source](https://twitter.com/2046032911116242944/status/2103141321900700066) - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-24: “@ampcode ...seems like letting agents run for hours and hours, or overnight. when i do that, i always end up with stuff i don't like. i also change the plan as stuff starts to take shape, planning everything ahead seems like a fools errand.” [source](https://twitter.com/26916652/status/2103136536695128503) - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-24: “i completely agree, the ui/ux is actually very good, and i think the multi-model advantage is best utilized by amp. why? of course, it's because it supports byok, unlike cursor (which feels like it wasn't made with care). amp's byok is treated like a favored child. i also really like orbs that allow me to switch between different devices. i often use my phone in bed when i can't sleep to come up with new ideas and then let amp write/edit plans while i sleep, but the results are not ideal, as i mentioned above. so that's why i think i might need to switch back to claude code.” [source](https://twitter.com/1592160489965948933/status/2103112783663673590) - Praise, GitHub Copilot, r/GithubCopilot, 2026-09-25: “i’m using luna 6 and it’s doing a great, it reasons on par with 5.4 x-high but is the best for long runner sessions. i had it working for nearly 12 out of the 24 hours yesterday and never hit my 5 hour limit. i only have 26 percent of my weekly usage remaining. great value for 20 bucks” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1wptkkq/how_does_gpt6_sol_feel_so_far/pbyrf4r/) - **Replies that run long** ([Length and clarity of replies, summaries and comments](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.response_verbosity.md)). Verbosity is the single most requested fix in this area, and it lands almost entirely on Claude Code. Users say telling Opus to keep it short still produces the long version. Shorter, less verbose responses top the request list, with Claude Code users making most of those asks. The contrast shows up in praise elsewhere. Cursor users celebrate getting code back with no walls of text and no lectures. Evidence: - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-02: “its crazy that even if you tell opus to "keep it short" its continues to keep it short the long way” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1w53kls/which_model_do_you_use_and_why/p7c35n8/) - Praise, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-16: “@tippmann777 @cursor_ai yes. task in, result out. no walls of text, no lectures. just code.” [source](https://twitter.com/1720665183188922368/status/2100069271174828227) ### Who stands out - **Google Antigravity (weaker)**. Users describe an unpredictable agent that loops, fumbles subagent calls, and keeps asking for permission. Posts call the model unpredictable enough that users brace before hitting proceed. One run looped on a single error until the user fixed it by hand. Broken subagent invocation pushed one user to Claude. Others say Gemini Pro is weak at architecting from scratch. It leads asks for an auto-approve mode, with 25 author-weeks requesting one, and also leads asks to stop endless looping. Praise exists, with some users reporting near-flawless runs, so results look highly variable. Evidence: - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-03: “this is what i'm saying. people here celebrating gemini's "speed"... the model is unpredictable af. i have to start praying every time i hit proceed...” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1w26skg/gemini_37_flash_just_deleted_my_c_drive/p7j1c71/) - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-05: “i gave gemini 3.8 a simple task. it ran for 8 minutes for one single error. i was multitasking, and when i came back to check gemini, it was still working. and then i stopped it, fixed it myself in like a minitue. i paid money for this and i cant even use it anymore, it enters in an infinite loop, does unnecessary things. i reverted my changes, gave the same error to gemini 3.7, it fixed it in 37 seconds. does anyone know a fix?” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1w86a7u/what_is_happening_with_37/) - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-16: “please sort the invoke_subagent tool calling issue. i already give it up to wait you and just signed for claude to work on my project because of this. custom agents are useless right now without a chance to spin up any sub agents. i already opened a reddit post and sen a bug report on the official desktop app of antigravity.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wh9uyh/antigravity_2_release_v2140/pa3ti19/) - Praise, Google Antigravity, r/GoogleAntigravityIDE, 2026-09-20: “bullshit fake news. gemini is never producing such bs. i personally use gemini for agentic coding help and it works perfectly. flash4.8 high( only paid users have access to it) in antigravity or vs code is an absolute game changer, it makes almost zero mistskes, it is testing its own code in sandbox before it makes mistskes. it corrects itself and deploy it only when it thinks its good. it writes perfect software schemes and implementation plans and sticks to them. when there is someone having issues with it then the user should ask themselfs how stupid or low grade the prompt was” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleAntigravityIDE/comments/1wkv97w/thanks_antigravity_for_reminding_me_of_the_shame/pavck87/) - **Devin (stronger)**. Devin wins on doing the work end to end, including running a real machine and returning proof. Users cheer Devin getting a Mac, building a mobile app and sending back a recording of it working, with a test link, laptop closed. Others say its SWE model handled an entire workday and was simply good, not just good for free, and handles extensive coding tasks. Caveats focus on quirks and on whether a cheap executor carries out what the planner meant. Evidence: - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-16: “yoooo devin has access to a mac now it can build a mobile app and send you a recording of the app working end-to-end and you don't even need your laptop open sending you a testflight link to test is crazy as well amazing day for app builders @cognition is cooking ” [source](https://twitter.com/1762175022527877120/status/2100056831548932272) - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-11: “i used swe-2 for basically my entire workday today. i expected it to be “good for free.” nope. it’s just good. is it better than fable 5.1 or gpt-6 astra? no. but it’s much closer than i expected, and @cognition is giving it away free for the next month. probably the best deal in coding right now.” [source](https://twitter.com/1920180090572271616/status/2098420968654000429) - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-01: “@embw_l0x try the 20$ plan from @cognition @devindesktop currently really good deal! i have been using the swe-1.7 model the last 4 days and its very good for extensive coding tasks and free to use, meaning 20$ buys you almost unlimited usage.” [source](https://twitter.com/2078757722363740160/status/2094896342795497875) - Complaint, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-11: “@cognition curious how often the cheap executor botches what the planner meant.” [source](https://twitter.com/1604518234962657280/status/2098459133880025233) - **Amp (stronger)**. Amp earns praise for working alongside the user, quietly fixing things and hiding git plumbing behind orbs. One user watched Amp fix an image overlay bug report mid-session and prompt the app to refresh. Others say orbs mean they never had to learn git worktrees, and that Amp built a home automation add-on to install itself. The weak spot is the same one users flag everywhere, which is that overnight autonomous runs come back off target. Evidence: - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-21: “@ampcode did you just fix the image overlay bug report while i was working, and prompted the app for a refresh? 😀” [source](https://twitter.com/2075289824915791872/status/2102118025834922257) - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-27: “first i didn't know how to use git worktrees then i had @ampcode orbs and didn't need to know how to use git worktrees.” [source](https://twitter.com/89691524/status/2104148649160962391) - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-24: “inspired by @thorstenball & @sqs on season 2 of "raising an agent", i decided to add @ampcode `--no-tui` runners to various ad-hoc local hosts running around the house. asking amp to build a home assistant add-on to install itself worked great! ” [source](https://twitter.com/7566122/status/2103110675589664926) - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-24: “i completely agree, the ui/ux is actually very good, and i think the multi-model advantage is best utilized by amp. why? of course, it's because it supports byok, unlike cursor (which feels like it wasn't made with care). amp's byok is treated like a favored child. i also really like orbs that allow me to switch between different devices. i often use my phone in bed when i can't sleep to come up with new ideas and then let amp write/edit plans while i sleep, but the results are not ideal, as i mentioned above. so that's why i think i might need to switch back to claude code.” [source](https://twitter.com/1592160489965948933/status/2103112783663673590) - **Zed (weaker)**. Zed's agent workflow asks the user to supervise it, from monitoring subagents to routing basic actions through chat. A user running subagents says they have to keep telling the main thread to monitor them. Another dislikes that everything goes through the agent, including commits, with no obvious button, and that it needs learning before it pays off. Notebook support draws repeated complaints. Fans still praise its orchestration and its forced-subagent setup, so the gap is polish, not ambition. Evidence: - Complaint, Zed, @zeddotdev, 2026-09-17: “@zeddotdev hi, i didn't find a repo to file a bug on delta, but using it with subagents i have to constantly write the main trhread to monitor them.” [source](https://twitter.com/8217762/status/2100399834356150550) - Complaint, Zed, r/ZedEditor, 2026-09-16: “i played around with it, but i don’t like that everything seems to have to go through the agent. need to commit some changes? you have to tell the agent to do it - there’s no obvious button for that, or at least i couldn’t find one. more broadly, it feels like something i’d need to learn first before i could use it effectively. i’d prefer something i could replace my current setup with immediately, then gradually discover the productivity improvements it offers as i use it.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ZedEditor/comments/1whydrw/delta_in_public_beta/pa6e00j/) - Praise, Zed, @zeddotdev, 2026-09-24: “agent orchestration is different level in @zeddotdev ” [source](https://twitter.com/1261173216455712768/status/2103200605493928281) - Praise, Zed, r/PiCodingAgent, 2026-09-21: “my personal huge level up was going from cursor ide to zed + omp. it is more efficient, i have everything i could've asked for and more. i love the custom fallbacks. being able to force the use of subagents. and the advisor... the advisor is really something tbh” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1wlpj30/lord_forgive_me_for_the_time_i_wasted/pb4z6kj/) - **Claude Code (mixed)**. Claude Code draws the strongest capability praise and the most requests to talk less and refuse less. Users report one-shotting features that pass audit and pushing many parallel sessions with subagents. The same crowd leads requests for shorter replies and for fewer false-positive safety blocks on benign tasks. Complaints describe sprawl across files and stalls on larger greenfield work. Strong output, heavy friction around it. Evidence: - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-27: “it normally takes me several back and forths to implement a feature properly. for the first time, with opus 5.5, i oneshotted a feature, audited and found no issues whatsoever. it's a goated model and i truly believe it'll be a pioneer agent for what's to come.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wrosog/opus_55_is_the_first_model_that_consistently/pcfardh/) - Praise, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-24: “ok, had to push hard, but finally hit the session limit, running 8 claude code sessions on opus 5.5 max and one session firing opus 5.5 subagents 3-7; limited out at 4 min to refresh. that's impressive throuhgput, imo @claudedevs thank you!” [source](https://twitter.com/154635655/status/2103119113166221540) - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-08-31: “that is not new development tho, that is refactoring an existing codebase. which they're better at. i'm going based on my specific taste, as a computer programmer of > 30 years. i've built and maintained a lot of systems in my life. so i gave claude a chance - i told him to write a simple fps indicator for my game, and to make it client side only. what he came up with was not done with meaningful variable names, and was spattered across 5 different files! i was wondering what was up with claude. so i gave him some blue sky development work, and watched. he only got to about 1600 lines, before he stalled out and couldn't progress. he used to be good, on july 17th. he was the best coder i have ever seen. but what is currently out, i would call a programming newbie. someone who has been in the field maybe a year.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1w2fd10/does_anyone_think_the_rise_of_llm_coding_will/p6yetrc/) - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-13: “i agree with the overengineering part. but for this i had to give it instructions / build guardrails. other than that it was highly intelligent and actually did everything i threw at it.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wf5pwg/gpt_6_hype_is_fake/p9j76s1/) ### Fine print - Many posts judge a model running inside a harness, so credit or blame can belong to the model rather than the agent. - Warp, Grok Build and Augment Code have too few posts here to rate. - Request counts are small next to total rated volume; read them as direction, not magnitude. ## Top requests What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 2100 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 | Shorter, less verbose responses | [Length and clarity of replies, summaries and comments](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.response_verbosity.md) | 47 | 48 | Claude Code 38, OpenAI Codex 5, Google Antigravity 2, Devin 1, Pi 1 | | 2 | Built-in computer use capability | [Computer use and browser control](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.computer_browser_use.md) | 45 | 46 | Google Antigravity 13, OpenAI Codex 12, Devin 7, Cursor 6, Cline 3, Amp 1, Claude Code 1, GitHub Copilot 1, OpenCode 1 | | 3 | Fewer false-positive safety blocks on benign tasks | [Safety filters block legitimate coding tasks](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.safety_refusals.md) | 44 | 50 | Claude Code 36, OpenAI Codex 7, Cursor 1 | | 4 | Built-in multi-agent orchestrator mode | [Subagents, parallel agents and orchestrators](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.multi_agent_orchestration.md) | 37 | 37 | Google Antigravity 10, OpenAI Codex 9, Pi 6, OpenCode 4, Claude Code 3, Cursor 2, Warp 2, Devin 1 | | 5 | Fewer permission prompts overall | [Tool approval prompts and autonomy modes](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.permission_prompts.md) | 37 | 37 | Google Antigravity 16, Claude Code 8, OpenAI Codex 7, Cursor 3, OpenCode 3 | | 6 | Auto-approve mode without permission prompts | [Tool approval prompts and autonomy modes](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.permission_prompts.md) | 34 | 35 | Google Antigravity 25, OpenAI Codex 4, Claude Code 3, Cline 1, OpenCode 1 | | 7 | Allow legitimate cybersecurity and pentesting work | [Safety filters block legitimate coding tasks](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.safety_refusals.md) | 33 | 35 | Claude Code 18, OpenAI Codex 13, Google Antigravity 1, Kiro 1 | | 8 | Event-driven subagent completion instead of polling | [Subagents, parallel agents and orchestrators](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.multi_agent_orchestration.md) | 29 | 31 | OpenAI Codex 24, Claude Code 4, OpenCode 1 | | 9 | Always-allow approvals that persist and work | [Tool approval prompts and autonomy modes](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.permission_prompts.md) | 28 | 28 | Google Antigravity 11, Claude Code 6, OpenAI Codex 6, Cursor 3, OpenCode 2 | | 10 | Finish tasks fully without stopping early | [Stops mid-task or answers instead of acting](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.premature_stop.md) | 28 | 28 | OpenAI Codex 14, Claude Code 8, OpenCode 3, Cursor 2, Devin 1 | | 11 | Bypass and full-access modes honored | [Tool approval prompts and autonomy modes](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.permission_prompts.md) | 27 | 27 | Google Antigravity 10, Claude Code 10, OpenAI Codex 4, Cline 1, Devin 1, Kiro 1 | | 12 | Fix agents looping endlessly without progress | [Spins, loops or gets stuck without progress](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.stuck_loops.md) | 26 | 27 | Google Antigravity 10, OpenAI Codex 6, Claude Code 4, OpenCode 3, Devin 2, Cursor 1 | ### 1. Shorter, less verbose responses - Claude Code, 2026-09-25, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs the usage limits are great currently with opus 5.5 but they would go even further if it wouldn't dump a novel full of claude-speak at me in every answer. you need to get that verbosity under control!” [source](https://twitter.com/1823237976295383041/status/2103604406109266061) - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-24, r/codex (Reddit): “i'd pay max tokens for a gpt-6 stfu model. i dont want to read a novel for a simple question. i dont want it to tell me 'youre right' 5000 times. i dont want it to suggest things i didnt explicitly ask. seriously, shut tf up!” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wp2bov/chatgpt_manipulates_you_to_keep_chatting/pbrrfs0/) - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs but can it reply with a simple yes or no and avoid dissertation length responses….nope. context would be far lighter if it could manage this one simple thing” [source](https://twitter.com/1959700170771144704/status/2103172816732660155) ### 2. Built-in computer use capability - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-24, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “is there any skill, extension or plugin like codex computer use? like getting it to control pc at its own and complete the job. i'm surprise this feature isn't in antigravity yet since been focus on multi-model and interaction? ” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wotyua/computer_use_in_antigravity/) - Cline, 2026-09-24, @cline (X): “@cline browser automation with a built-in browser? computer use? when can we expect that” [source](https://twitter.com/1696542879735222272/status/2103056296488407298) - Devin, 2026-09-23, @cognition (X): “i've been an @cursor_ai user since feb 2024, but after grok 4.7, i'm looking for alternatives. @droid @cognition are in the lead for me, but what i really need is 1. cloud agents/desktop 2. agnostic harness & computer use 3. mobile 4. good connectors anyone have suggestions?” [source](https://twitter.com/1902193987244408832/status/2102596587046531556) ### 3. Fewer false-positive safety blocks on benign tasks - Claude Code, 2026-09-27, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “what are you labeling as safe or unsafe? the cases i'm most interested in are skills that legitimately need file or network access but look suspicious to a scanner. that's where our false positives hurt.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wr874k/has_anyone_found_a_reliable_way_to_scan_agent/pcbap0x/) - Claude Code, 2026-09-25, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “opus 5.5 refuses to use the 1password cli (op cli) tool even though anthropic sent an email advertising the integration. the are so many safeguards that it makes the model that makes it useless for most sysadmin tasks (won't initiate a ssh connection or use a command that requires sudo). great coding model but damn, it has some huge weaknesses and almost all of them related to overly aggressive safeguards.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wpqqoy/new_55_safe_guards_are_a_joke/pc14vdn/) - Claude Code, 2026-09-25, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “it was unable to correct my forgetting to prefix an api key with "sk-" because it got flagged as credential hunting” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wpqqoy/new_55_safe_guards_are_a_joke/pc03ja5/) ### 4. Built-in multi-agent orchestrator mode - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-27, @antigravity (X): “@antigravity lotta hate for this lol. it is definitely puzzling that the product is moving so slowly. still has /teamwork-preview command required to get a decent agentic team involved in changes, something that should be automatically invoked and scaled appropriate to the task” [source](https://twitter.com/805587288/status/2104295109680410783) - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs old-style projects were not so useful so i’d be happy to nuke them if i can get the new project orchestration?” [source](https://twitter.com/1866829794790301696/status/2103124822905544902) - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-24, @antigravity (X): “@abdullahformuli @ash_twtz @antigravity @ycombinator antigravity is not best ide, maybe good but not best - it has its own architecture - orchestration limits with no multi subagent work and it limits users not to use their models outside antigravity - thats p*ssy move they are just lazy and constrained” [source](https://twitter.com/1920552724481163264/status/2103003169521598750) ### 5. Fewer permission prompts overall - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-26, r/codex (Reddit): “it's stupid as well asking permissions to this and that, anything but to proceed, when i have clearly said fix everything lol.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1sr8j8b/codex_keeps_stopping_every_30_to_45_seconds_and/pc4iwfw/) - Cursor, 2026-09-24, @cursor_ai (X): “@cursor_ai i don't understand how i can stop getting buried in approval requests! ” [source](https://twitter.com/905512466339287040/status/2103098476464595397) - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs estou gostando de trabalhar na nuvem, mas precisa melhorar as permissões. ter que ficar mandando mensagem pra pedir pro "claude computador" fazer trava a produção.” [source](https://twitter.com/3775511057/status/2102942524520227249) ### 6. Auto-approve mode without permission prompts - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-26, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “it’s shit if you use headless mode, it cannot have auto-approve. i had to use tmux to have an active interactive session if i want auto-approve, otherwise it asks for permission for every single step😅. but yea, remote-control is so good, it’s great that it’s an pwa, no apps required. (as long as you don’t mind having your session data in the cloud, personal plan doesn’t have zdr anyways)” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wqmd4n/why_is_the_antigravitycli_so_underrated/pc5zqs8/) - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-26, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “but that’s not what i am asking for though. what i am saying is that there should be a similar command to /yolo from codex in agy-cli. basically a temporary one prompt —dangerously-skip-permissions and when the prompt is finished processing it goes to defaults. none current options do this, you either set it for an entire session or globally.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wqbyzk/antigravity_cli_release_v127_v1211/pc4vris/) - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-24, r/codex (Reddit): “starting codex for the first time [manually approving codex prompts \(ai generated image\)]() today i started codex for the first time (i used a lot claude code) and directly launch a fleet of agents and it was a bad idea.... i expected at least to see the "auto-mode" equivalent in the tui. now i am pressing "approve" like back in 2025.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wpehp7/starting_codex_for_the_first_time/) ### 7. Allow legitimate cybersecurity and pentesting work - Claude Code, 2026-09-27, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “let’s put it this way, i’m building a cybersecurity/pentesting harness. opus5, 5.5, and fable, can’t so much as read the prd without tripping and downgrading to 4.8. i use hindsight as a memory system, they can’t read the description of the odin (name of my harness) bank without throwing a warning.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wppds2/is_it_safe_to_development_a_hacking_game_with/pcb4dzi/) - Claude Code, 2026-09-25, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “the flag usually sits on the skill file, not the task. if the description or body mentions auth, credentials, exploit, pentest, rls, anything that reads as offensive security, it fires before the skill does any work. clearing the session only helps until it reads the file again. rewording that description into plain build language is what stopped it on mine.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wpqqoy/new_55_safe_guards_are_a_joke/pbzdhjo/) - Claude Code, 2026-09-25, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@anthropicai @claudeai @claudedevs false-positive guardrails are completely broken. use standard terms like "password ,key, flag", or "security" and your entire session gets flagged. legitimate defensive security work is impossible right now. at $250/month, this is unacceptable ” [source](https://twitter.com/1256139910504988672/status/2103381836617445869) ### 8. Event-driven subagent completion instead of polling - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-27, r/codex (Reddit): “i also came up with a patch, no bugs and only cost 5 tokens! don’t poll subagents” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wrw3wy/1000_lines_348_bn_tok_393_subagents_42_pro20/pch38sj/) - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “don't set active polling of my simulation runs with the multiagent team that go overnight...” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wp23t8/what_rule_in_your_claudemd_clearly_has_a_backstory/pbskfgc/) - OpenCode, 2026-09-18, @opencode (X): “@thdxr @opencode can the opencode without waiting for the subagent to complete its task and continue working? like claude.” [source](https://twitter.com/1321164857278894082/status/2100757699822551181) ### 9. Always-allow approvals that persist and work - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-26, @antigravity (X): “@rodydavis @antigravity the constantly asking for the same class of permission you've already approved several times over going in circles, it doesn't complete the work given only does like 60% and it's not even a oneshot prompt” [source](https://twitter.com/1895520405885952000/status/2103773104593945021) - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-26, @antigravity (X): “@antigravity why can't you even handle the most basic command-line authorization? i've clearly authorized all git commands and other commands for the entire project, yet i keep having to authorize everything again and again” [source](https://twitter.com/1559895451805286401/status/2103657920911327482) - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-25, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “am i the only one for whom "antigravity" never actually "always proceeds"? no matter what i change in the workspace settings, it always asks for countless confirmations; even when i select the option to always allow access for the folder or project, it keeps asking the same questions. does anyone know how to configure this, or is there an update that includes an "always proceed" feature like in codex or claude code?” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wpkgy1/why_always_proceed_never_work/) ### 10. Finish tasks fully without stopping early - Claude Code, 2026-09-26, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs debria hacer que acabe de minimo la tarea completa 😏” [source](https://twitter.com/1800068778564169728/status/2103780713741144350) - OpenCode, 2026-09-24, r/opencode (Reddit): “i can only use claude or gpt models at my work, so more persistent models aren't really an option. in my experience, claude is the more naturally persistent of the two, but both of them keep stopping before full task completion outside of relatively small things.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/opencode/comments/1wp3bc9/what_are_loopgoal_plugin_are_you_using/pbsgka1/) - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-24, r/codex (Reddit): “i 100% feel the fact that it needs more steering and randomly stops without really completing the task” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1worwfr/sol_6_was_insufferable_glad_to_be_back_to_56/pbpl3i8/) ### 11. Bypass and full-access modes honored - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-26, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “those don't work on windows. it always asks regardless. you can throw it into turbo mode and it'll still ask. ” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wpkgy1/why_always_proceed_never_work/pc5jqpu/) - Claude Code, 2026-09-26, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs i'm already in bypass permissions / auto mode, just allow this shit stop asking me ” [source](https://twitter.com/212418463/status/2103956882339594574) - Google Antigravity, 2026-09-20, @antigravity (X): “@antigravity for windows is unusable. even in the cli. an endless stream of permission requests even with --mode accept-edits on. every single tool use. just going to stop here and cancel it. i like the new 3.8 flash model, its honestly underrated, but its just not user friendly.” [source](https://twitter.com/402285185/status/2101494705066500569) ### 12.
