It genuinely feels to me like GPT-5.2 and Opus 4.5 in November represent an inflection point - one of those moments where the models get incrementally better in a way that tips across an invisible capability line where suddenly a whole bunch of much harder coding problems open up It’s possible Gemini 3 Pro should be included in that group as well, but I’m not seeing quite the same level of astonished buzz from hardened software engineers around that model as I am for the other two .
