| Total Cost | $0.447 (gpt-5.2: $0.126, claude-opus-4.5: $0.321) |
| Avg Duration | gpt-5.2: 16.8s ยท claude-opus-4.5: 14.0s |
| Recommendation | ๐ข Deploy gpt-5.2 |
Verdict: Both models complete all tasks, but gpt-5.2 delivers the same correctness at ~60% lower cost, making it the clear default.

| Avg duration | 16.8s | 14.0s |
Verdict: Best balance of correctness and cost; ideal default for coding-agent tests.
Strengths:
- Preserved backward compatibility during refactor (f() wrapper)
- Clean, typed implementations with minimal verbosity
- Lowest cost tier among passing models
Weaknesses: - Slightly slower than Claude on refactor task
Verdict: High-quality outputs, but not cost-effective for these tasks.
Strengths: - Clear docstrings and readable refactors - Fast execution on refactoring
Weaknesses: - ~2.5ร higher cost with no quality advantage - Removes backward compatibility in refactor (acceptable here, but riskier generally)

Details:
fWhen refactoring, preserve original public functions as wrappers unless explicitly told to remove them.Impact: Safer refactors across codebases; avoids subtle regressions
Nice to have: Reduce redundant confirmations
After completing a task, provide a single concise confirmation.Final Recommendation: Deploy gpt-5.2 as the default coding agent; reserve claude-opus-4.5 only when marginal speed gains justify significantly higher cost.
